Norway: 80% new cars are electric

Earth has had this much time of dinos and other organic material dying and turning to crude:

For when NORWAYS oil wells runs dry, their claim in the north sea is not that ****ing big man.
Their economy is 50%+ oil. What do you guys think will happen WHEN Norways patch in the north sea is dry (not profitable)?

This creates a real good incentive to not be dependent and cash in as much on the oil as long as they can.
This was the objective from the start. The extreme climate change hysteria just made things easier and faster for the government.

ok, even if we place some chargers on the road, we will have to wait for...how long? i think half an hour is the fastest ,which is not probably gonna be the one 's placed bcs its the most expensive. getting gas for 1' and getting electric half an hour, imagine the lines on the power station.

Trains could be part of the solution. Not that US has a big train infrastructure but for Europe atleast.

Wait 15 more years. Charging will get faster.
 
norway is hypocrite.
like you say- they built wealth on oil, and now they play the "the clean guy theatre" forcing ev and what not.
i criticize this behavior- keeping home clean, but don´t caring about pile of dirt behind the fence (selling oil)..
if really caring about enviroment, how about fully stop selling oil.?
 
Ok, let's get this straight. Norway has an abundance of hydro and EVs work well there.

The USA has an abundance of Petroleum and we think EVs will work here.

Norway is about the size of CA with the longest distance being 1,100 miles. The USA is how wide? Where does our power come from? Some of everything.

The scarcity mindset of Petroleum is the scary thing.

If the US were to give everyone a huge incentive to buy an EV they would fly off the lots. But then how would we charge them all? Oh right, at night with our solar panels!

USA has a lot of natural gas, and most EV charging at night by natural gas plants and nuke. Most miles driven are commute, and USA driving is typically 15k miles per year, there is only so many miles human can tolerate driving per day, and many EV drivers also top off at work (every EV driver other than Tesla seems to do that at my workplace).

I don't think they are hypocrite, they have so much electric power it makes sense to use EV there as well as gas, why waste it mining bitcoins or selling it to another country?

Thats your opinion. They are exporting as much as they can and making buck. That is the real reason in my opinion.
Norway might be "socialist" by US standards but it is still the money that rules.

How about US stop consuming Oil? Stop acting like you have any sort of moral high ground.

Precisely and its the oil money that paid for all the hydro construction.
That's a good investment, why dump all the water for no energy harvest? What do you think should be done? burn all the oil then build hydro afterward with borrowed money? Why not build it early and use it? You don't have to spend all the money in the bank just because you have it right?

Europe is already in "full" transition. Swedish diesel is only 70% crude/fossil. And companies are taxed less when useing HVO100 diesel substitute.
Now is the time to sell. And they are investing as much as they can in stocks. No time to spare.
Plus if Norway doesnt sell Russia will.

And Equinor is a well run company - far better than Rosneft. It took years for them to become efficient and cleaner / and they work on both daily … They should produce and explore …
 
We did give huge incentives.

A $7,500 federal tax credit is, in fact, $7,500 in the pocket of a buyer. It’s not a write-off, it’s a credit, so it’s dollar for dollar going back into the pocket of the buyer. That was quite the incentive at the Federal level. Various states had additional incentives.
Yes, but in my area I see maaayyyybe 3% EVs or Hybrids.

I'm a self employed Master Electrician, and I've put exactly 1 charger for an individual. It was for a Chevy Volt.

I have, however, put in 4 chargers for car dealers. 2 at 2 Ford dealers (same owner different towns).
 
Might want to read up on acid rain and the ozone layer. There was a lot done to reverse the damage to the ozone layer by not throwing nasty chemicals in the air. Similar with acid rain. There's a reason why these didn't happen.
Yes, this is true. Also, many of the trees in the Smoky Mountains died in the eighties and nineties reportedly due to acid rain.
