Husby Taxi, an Oslo-area operator that owns its cars and employs its drivers, will keep buying Nio vehicles as it expands its all-electric fleet to 45 cars from 36, the company said on Friday.
Nio-taxi vehicles have become a common sight in the Norwegian capital. In August 2026, fully electric vehicles accounted for 98.7% of all new car registrations in Norway, up from 96.9% a year earlier.
Husby Taxi took delivery this week of its 36th car, a white Nio, it said in a blog post.
“We are continuing with Nio,” the company wrote. Thirty-one of the 36 vehicles are Nios, founder Christoffer Husby wrote on LinkedIn on Friday.
The new model is a Nio EL6 and the 16th for Veizla AS, the group’s second taxi company, its General Manager Dawid Zbikowski wrote in a separate LinkedIn post.
“Another NIO EL6 is leaving NIO today and joining the Veizla fleet — our 16th car,” Zbikowski wrote. “We rate NIO highly, and so do our customers. 5 more to go before the end of 2026.”
“Car #16 marks the start of Veizla’s next scaling period: from 15 vehicles to 20+ through 2026,” Husby wrote.
Neither company disclosed prices or purchase terms, or said how many of the nine additional vehicles will be Nios.
Taxi Warranty
Husby Taxi said Nio offers a dedicated taxi warranty of 300,000 kilometres.
“For cars that cover many kilometres every single day, it gives great peace of mind, both for us and for the drivers who drive them,” the company wrote.
Nio’s standard warranty in Norway covers five years or 150,000 kilometres, according to its website.
Nio’s 2023 agreement with Oslo Taxi gave the group’s owners “the best prices on cars and battery packs, and good warranty arrangements,” Bilnytt reported in December 2024 without giving details.
Own Cars, Own Drivers
Husby Taxi AS was founded in January 2025, and Veizla AS in March 2024, according to Norway’s Brønnøysund Register Centre.
It operates in Oslo and the surrounding region.
Husby Taxi has recruited drivers for the Bolt and Uber platforms, listing Nio ET7, ET5, EL6 and ES8 cars, in a job advertisement that has since expired.
Its job ads also cite five-minute battery swaps or fast charging.
An earlier Veizla ad, also expired, sought Bolt and Uber drivers for “en ny 2024 NIO ET7” (a new 2024 Nio ET7).
Falling Registrations
The expansion comes as Nio-brand sales in Norway shrink.
Nio registered 124 Nio-brand vehicles in Norway in the first eight months of 2026, down 47.7% from 237 a year earlier, according to Elbilstatistikk data.
Registrations fell year on year in every month of 2026. The brand registered 20 vehicles in August, down 28.6% from 28 a year earlier.
It has averaged 15.5 registrations a month this year, against 451 for the whole of 2025, including 85 in December.
Those figures exclude the Firefly brand, which has no reported taxi use in Norway.
Including Firefly, Nio Inc. has registered 3,602 vehicles in Norway since it entered the market in September 2021.
Nio does not disclose how many of its Norwegian sales go to taxi operators, and EV found no published 2026 taxi registration data by brand.
Oslo Taxi
Nio’s only publicly announced taxi agreement in Norway is with Oslo Taxi, signed on August 22, 2023.
It made Nio a preferred supplier to the group’s taxi owners. No volumes or prices were disclosed.
“A taxi doesn’t earn money when it is standing still,” Oslo Taxi Group Chief Executive Officer Tonje Grave said at the time, citing Nio’s battery swapping.
Husby Taxi has not said whether it buys its cars under the Oslo Taxi terms.
Oslo required all taxis to be zero-emission from November 1, 2024, according to the city.
Ahead of that deadline, taxis made up 477 of Nio’s 890 registrations in Norway in 2024, making it the country’s second-largest brand for taxi deliveries, according to OFV data.
Nio’s monthly registrations in Norway hit their highest level since 2021 in October 2024, led by the EL6.
Taxi sales then fell.
Nio had registered 48 taxis by May 11, 2025, down from 72 a year earlier, Bilbransje24 reported.
For the full year 2025, Nio took 9% of new taxi registrations in Norway, level with Volkswagen and behind Tesla at 28% and Toyota and Mercedes-Benz at 12% each, according to an analysis of OFV data by the Norwegian Taxi Association.
The EL6 accounted for about 6% of new taxis, making it the third most popular taxi model behind the Tesla Model Y at about 27% and the Toyota bZ4X at about 11%, the association said.
“Compared with the same period last year, we had a big taxi push then,” Nio Norway Country Manager An Ho told the outlet in September 2025.
Nio ended 2025 65% short of its Norwegian sales target of 1,500 vehicles.
Its Bryn station in Oslo is the busiest in its network, with about 1,900 battery swaps a month, Ho said in a March release. Nio does not say how many of those swaps are by taxis.
This month, Nio began offering Norwegian buyers who lease their battery 50 free swaps, marking five years in the market.
