Norway 98%

Others: EVs dont work in the cold.

It’s always this same group of countries doing awesome shit.

I need to move.

But where did you get that money Norway? Hmmm?

Man being born in one of these countries currently is just a luxury, especially Denmark and Norway

Germany: 34.5% because the government and the people are stuck in last century. It is ridiculous and incomprehensible.

What about just not buying cars? The most environmentally freindly countries are apparently does that just cant afford the western way of life. Why cant we have walfare, social security, etc while having good urbanism and low car usage?

It's only 49% in Sweden because of the braindead right wing government we've had for the past 4 years.

They lost the election though so maybe we can still right the ship

Extremely loud buzzer Incorrect! Nepal is at 73% and Ethiopia banned new ICE sales

I read somewhere that almost 50% of all car sales are electric now. Not that electric cars are some panacea, but I for one think ICE should go the way of the dinosaur.

The comments here are great pushing against this, the other thing I'll add is that this is a capex vs opex thing. Operating an EV is way cheaper but purchasing one is more expensive. Additionally rich countries are often more demanding than poorer ones because the opex cost is "real" in poorer countries. Governments can essentially solving this by underwrite this cost, create nice loans, cashbacks, tax backs, etc etc.

One example I give is that in India, you have electric bikes and scooters which are quite attractive because of the running costs, but they have low range and low power. Indians are just practical with how much money they have so they'll make the tradeoffs. In richer countries, they don't even sell the equivalent bikes or scooters because someone in those countries just turns their nose up at the power or range.

I'm not sure "wealthy" is the correct term here. There's quite a wealth gap between Norway and Finland for example. Finland's economy haven't been good for a decade and we have one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe.

What is the initial cost of an EV compared to ICE in these countries, including tax credit?

To see how is it helped by governments.

To give an exemple here a peugeot 308 is from 33k (with 7k bonus) and 30k ICE (France)

But what about electric trains and buses?

We are really seeing how some countries are transforming into electrostates now. Honestly it is more good governing and is also happening in poorer countries. The long term impacts will be massive though, as cars are a huge oil consumer and being less dependent on it, makes you less dependent on a bunch of really shitty countries(US, Iran, Russia, the Gulf States and so on)
