Default Norway Electric Car Policy

I'm in Oslo seeing a peek into the future to some degree where it seems like 50% of the cars are electric. I finally had to question why.

A solid explanation:

come to silly-con valley - EV's are taking over - local car dealers are really really distraught - unless they are selling hybrids or pure EV's…

as far as the video - yeah use revenue from existing technology to fund the next wave - oil is going to be with us for a while (always) that doesn't mean we have to burn in all circumstances - change our mix of personal transportation and use the valuable and irreplaceable fossil fuel in the best way possible, and I don't think anyone would argue that burning fossil fuels while idle in commuter congestion/traffic is the best use of that resource…it can be put to better use reducing our impact and extending the life of the resource (if we use less we'll have it for longer).

keep your Ford F-150 Heavy Duty pickup that gets negative 12 mpg - just only drive it when you need to . Make your Taycan your commuter vehicle…

Now if only we could get cities everywhere to install free parking spaces with chargers all over the cities for plug-in vehicles only...

"Oil makes the world go round", Sure.

For about 38 of the United States, per BEA, mining (oil) isn't even 2% of GSP.

It's replaceable.
