Does Iceland have electric cars?

I live in the U.S. and drive an EV. Some day in the far future, I’d like to retire in my family’s home country, and I want to make sure I can continue to live sustainably. Does Iceland have electric cars to support my wild dreams?

Your dream is already a reality. Iceland does have
electric cars
and is probably one of the world’s most exciting markets for electric vehicles. Iceland is becoming a leader in electric mobility, with traditional gas-fueled cars making up less than half of the newly registered vehicles. The small island nation laid the foundation for green cars decades ago.As it stands, 100% of electricity in Iceland comes from renewable sources like hydropower and geothermal energy. They’re not new to the ways of sustainable living. The Government has rolled out plenty of incentives to encourage further purchasing of EVs and the growth of charging infrastructure. You can get access to free charging in the City of Reykjavik as well as free parking when you drive any low-emission car. Many places in Iceland offer similar incentives like free charging for employees, and many more retailers provide free charging for their customers. Imagine how much further they’ll be when it’s time for you to go back home. In the meantime, let’s make sure that you’re getting the best bang for your buck with your current car insurance policy.
