The country where all cars are becoming electric ⚡ The Norwegian government is one of the most forward-thinking in the world -- at least in terms of its transportation strategy. Norway has set the earliest target in the world for the phaseout of new petrol cars, in 2025. But the market is changing faster still.
In the first 8 months of 2017, petrol and diesel cars accounted for 25% of new car sales. Meanwhile, over the same period in 2021, this accounted for 4.93% and 4.73% respectively (for a comparable number of overall sales). If this trend keeps up, there could be virtually no demand for non-electric cars by this time next year.
Norway's secret was to offer
tax incentives for
EVs, but a recent study also found that even without incentives,
EV cars are becoming cheaper.
Ten years ago, nobody could have imagined this.
But it’s not just cars that have gone ⚡
electric: it’s a network of buses, trains, and trams, plus lots of electric bikes. Agelbert NOTE: 10 years ago was 2011. At that time, Elon Musk had already produced a
successful ⚡ EV Sportscar and had a large factory producing the 2012
Tesla ⚡ Model S. He certainly
DID foresee what is happening today, not just in Norway, but in many countries all over the world. That was (and still is), after all, what his
⚡ EV business model is all about
. China, despite their having too many
coal fired powerplants , is not far behind Norway in a massive transition to
⚡ EV transportation, by the way.
The
worldwide transition to
⚡ EV transportation, including
⚡ land AND sea ⚡ vehicles, is what will finally rid us of the
🦖 Hydrocarbon Hellspawn 😈 Fossil Fuelers.
They cannot survive without selling
their polluting gas guzzler fuels to we-the-people. The sooner
they go bankrupt, the BETTER!
