The usage of plug-in electric vehicles in Iceland is one of the highest in the world. Sales of electric vehicles in Iceland are the second-highest in the world, behind Norway, and tripled between 2010 and 2015. Electric vehicles are a key component of the country's environmental policy and compliance with the Paris Agreement.

Sales of electric vehicles
In July 2017, there were 1,400 fully electric vehicles and 1,700 hybrid vehicles in usage in Iceland, equivalent to 1.5% of all vehicles in the country. New registrations of electric and hybrid vehicles grew by 186% between June 2016 and June 2017.

Electric vehicles make up 9% of all new car sales, with 3.2% being fully electric and 5.8% hybrid. This is the second-highest percentage of the world behind Norway at 34.7%.

Since 2012, there has been no value-added tax on electric vehicles. The exemption has been extended several times since it entered into force.

Public transportation
In early 2017, Strætó bs announced their purchase of four electric buses from Chinese manufacturer Yutong. The range of the buses is approximately 320 km, which is equivalent to 17 service-hours.
