For those who can’t read Norwegian: Nationally, 98,6% of ALL cars sold in Norway in April this year were electric.
In every single fylke (state/region), the percentage was over 95%. He’s referencing total car pool, whick takes 20 years to replace.
This guy is full of shit for some unknown reason, but he’s sticking to it.
EV’s work fine in cold climates as proven every god damn winter in the Nordic countries alone.
I’m out if this dumb argument now. You were wrong, shit happens. Stop spreading lies in the future just because you like changing oil and spending all your savings on servicing your old fosil cars. The rest of us live in the present

I can’t comment on connectivity, as that is a personal preference.
I respect it though, but have given up myself.
Having a safer car with creature comforts outweighs the benefit of complete privacy for me. I’d probably think differently if I didn’t have a familiy to keep safe….
Regarding range: 500+ km is super nice, but not necessary for most people. Our shortest range EV is 406 WLTP, so realistically only 300 in winter conditions. That’s 2-3 hours of driving between every charge stop, which we need to do to eat/relax/use the bathroom anyways.
In summer it’s even further.
Charging takes 15-30 minutes, depending on SoC when we stop.
For any trip shorter than this and in every day life, we don’t need to stop at all as I can charge both at home and at work.
I get that might not be the case for most people, of course.
