Norway: 37% of new vehicles sold in January were electric
Expect the numbers to drop right back down again in a few years. A major reason for people owning a EV, a law that was introduced back when Thinks were the big deal EV to have (yeah, right) that allowed EVs to use the bus lanes and not pay a toll, have been repealed.<p>Note that it was only when Tesla made the EV comparable to a sportscar that it picked up in Norway. And that was because now the rich of the nation could bypass the rush hour traffic and not pay road tolls, while still own something that looked and drove like the neighbors gas guzzler.<p>Over time that thinking trickled down to the wider population along with more practical and cheaper EV designs.<p>But now the big incentive is gone, and thus i suspect the trend will reverse soon enough.
