Abstract
Norway has a comprehensive EV incentive program that has shaped the growth in

the Norwegian EV market. Co-evolutionary outcomes, such as aggregated

volume, modern EV technology and innovation can bring great success, but can

also lead to challenges. The incentives were always meant to be temporarily and

will eventually be revised and adjusted to the market development by the

Norwegian government. How will the interaction between regulatory change and

technological change be? Co-evolutionary studies have recently begun to refer to

the political processes that might be involved where co-evolution appears. Coevolutionary

theory suggests that firms co-evolve with the environment. The

researcher wants to look closer at the co-evolution of firms’ and institutions’

strategies and the potential outcomes that comes from this interaction

consequentially by examining the co-evolution in the Norwegian EV market. The

study is based on co-evolutionary theory where the interaction between car

manufacturers and the Norwegian government in the Norwegian EV market are

being carefully examined.

The distinctive purpose of using a multiple case study approach is to provide

better insight that can contribute to the theory building. The case is intended to

show causes of rapid changes that can result in great uncertainty for the future EV

market in Norway. There are few studies conducted on this topic, and most of the

co-evolution studies that have been done have concentrated on emerging

economies and not on a developed economy such as Norway. The findings of this

qualitative paper contribute to the theory by illustrating how multinational

enterprises (car manufacturers) relate to the uncertainty caused by a change in

institutional regulations (Norwegian government regulations) and how these

institutions can affect MNEs’ strategies and vice versa. The paper concludes with

suggestions for further research and implications.
