I'm no expert on any of this, but I enjoy the discussion on it. I was in Oslo in 2019 and it was astounding to see so many EV cars on the road (their licence plates show as EV-XXXXXX) We played a little game to see how many we could spot on the busy road out of the city centre and counted about 30-45 in 2 mins.

I saw more Teslas in a week in Norway a couple of years ago than I’d seen in my life until then (only slight exaggeration). The infrastructure in general there is amazing. Must be nice to be a petro-state [emoji52]
