To be fair, they are heavily subsidized with our oil income. The irony is not lost on us, but I guess it’s not the worst way to spend that windfall.

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

For me its funny that people cry about poor range in cold weather but a perennially cold country like Norway has people flocking to EVs without fear
Yeah I’d argue it’s better than petrol/diesel for us. Electric motors respond so much faster on inputs from safety systems on slippery winter roads, heating is not dependant on the engine being warm and electricity is cheap here.
The price jump to 4WD is also menial in comparison to ICE as you just need one rear motor and a simple diff, no driveshaft or complicated gearbox/clutch setup.
I’m never going back
We should all aspire to be a bit more like Norway.
