Scandinavia and Electric Vehicles

When we look at new car sales in Norway, we see that only one in 10 is powered by an internal combustion engine.

Admittedly, Northern Europe has many positive geographic and demographic features: a strong supply of renewable energy resources, high gas prices, short driving distances, and, most importantly, a citizenry that honestly cares about sustainability, i.e., one that has a sincere interest in leaving behind a planet that fully supports life as we’ve come to know it.

By way of comparison, sales of new EVs in the U.S. run at about 6.5%.
