I’d comment on the contrast of an oil producing country achieving this but the badly AI generated image takes me out of it. What the fuck are those cables?

Because electric cars are totally so much better…

Of course not mentioned in the headline:
Number of diesel cars is still higher than petrol.
Norway is a hilly place and that extra torque in diesel engines is needed.

Mars feels insulted. The whole _planet_ went EV only decades ago, and yet it gets to recognition.

Love to see it.

Don’t get high on your own supply

They still make billions from their oil industry and have made owning and buying a petroleum car basically too costly for most people.

In Denmark we are not allowed to see news like that. Can’t have anything interfere with the Danish self image as the best at green transition. When we are obviously not by any means.

That’s great I guess but just like many other accomplishments (prisons that look more comfortable than many hotels, great social security, etc.) it’s much less impressive when you take into account the fact that Norway basically has an unlimited fossil fuel cash flow and a modern enough government and social model that makes sure that this money isn’t hoarded by a small elite but redistributed among the entire population.

On comments about Norway’s oil production:
Norway has only 2.3% of the World oil production. While at the same time having some of the cleanest (or rather least polluting) oil production.

I had heard China is at it too.

And apparently the cold winters in Norway don’t bother electric vehicle drivers at all.. I wonder what US critics are saying

Can we stop comparing the world to a country the size of an average American downtown?
travelling202 on
yeah but what about worldwide? electric car sales declining a LOT so singling out a country with a smaller population than London is kinda moot no?

Thank you Elon Musk for promoting EVs when everyone mocked you.

Now take away incentives… oops.

Van someone publish their vehicle policies in English, German and French so we can copy whatever they are doing, since it’s working.
(I know they’re less vulnerable to the car lobby)

It’s amazing what you can achieve with just a little bit of money from your huge oil and gas industry

I wish Finland would implement (or rather bring back) the EV incentives.
Having an EV in the far north is difficult; the range takes an incredible hit in the winter and there are very few chargers in the north. If you drive the longer distances we have regularly, you essentially have to get a car with the highest range possible.
That’s just not feasible for so many, as the car prices here are absurd. The sales tax was increased to 25.5% and due to the heavy import taxes and customs, importing cars from more affordable countries is also rarely worth the time.

Being a small rich country certainly helps.

I’m wondering what they will do when all of those batteries start to degrade. Let’s wait 4-5 years.
