Indeed more than 50% of new vehicles sold are EV in Norway

For some of the following reasons:

  1. Strong purchasing power of the population
  2. Good EV infrastructure (stations, cheap energy...)
  3. Strong fiscal incentives
  4. Strong ecological awareness of the population

I hope it could help you.

Sincerely,

@vlemon

Thank you for the information.
The reasons mentioned are enough for any EV company to invest in Norway.

I wonder how long will it take before everyone on planet earth will get rid of their petrol/diesel cars.
