What Does the Future Hold for EVs? Look at Norway
. So, what is Norway like now? What impacts has the EV rEVolution had on its auto market?My friend David Orr has just returned from visiting his son in Oslo and this is what he told me:
As he walked down the street, he saw lots of cars he did not recognize — all shapes and sizes, and he reckons that 2 out of 3 were electric. It seemed that Teslas made up about 20% of the cars on road. “Norway is the land of the EVs,” David enthuses. He saw a lot more Model S on the road than we do in Australia, and the Model Ys seem to be catching up to Model 3s very quickly.
The center of Oslo is beautiful, green, and clean thanks to a congestion tax reducing the traffic there. The main streets have been made into malls with very limited vehicle access. It is quiet. There’s no dragging off at the lights, no thrum of ice engines. The impact of Norway’s drive to be green is economy wide, he says. All the buses are electric, and even the postmen ride electric scooters.
