As a metric for EV adoption, Norway is irrelevant.
It has a total population of approximately 5.6 million. Basically one average US city with it's burbs.
Norway's oil and gas exports in 2024 were valued at approximately 110 billion US. That's Huge.
Saudi Arabia's 2024 oil export revenues are estimated between $179 billion and $210.6 billion, not even double.
Norway's oil and gas resources are primarily owned and controlled by the Norwegian state, which holds a 67% stake in Equinor (formerly Statoil). The state also heavily taxes private companies (78% marginal rate)
All that vast wealth spread across a population of a few million people. Does anyone wonder why the media uses them as the poster child, their government is basically giving away EV's, for one big virtue signal if you consider the end use of all that oil and gas they export. Oh, and one last factoid, Hydropower generates roughly 90% of Norway's total electricity. The cheapest electricity on the planet at around one cent per kWh. So forget Norway, it's meaningless.

….or when the alternatives are taxed heavily to make them unaffordable !
Pretty impressive, i was wondering when electric aircraft was going to 'take off'. it seems like one of the most challenging vehicles to get electrified. Their results are a lot better than what i heard about a few years ago.
