“Norway is the world leader when it comes to the take up of electric cars, which last year accounted for nine out of 10 new vehicles sold in the country.”

Well, one thing to keep in mind is that most people haven’t been buying cars.
My car is starting to get older, and my plan right now is to continue maintaining it because compared to the cost of replacing it the cost of keeping it is so much lower. And I’m not doing that bad. Most households are doing a lot worse than I am, and so they’re probably looking at the astronomical prices of vehicles post covid and making the completely reasonable decision not to get anything.
So it’s easy for 90% of the vehicles sold to be electric because most of the vehicles being sold are luxury items for the rich rather than things that individuals need to live day to day.
