Then civilian casualties wouldn't still be under 15,000 three years into the war, many at the hands of the AFU, you incompetent McCarthyite cocksucker. If Russia was in the business of murdering civilians, Kiev would have been a parking lot two weeks into the war like Gaza, not being relatively untouched.

You.

The subsidies in the USA were not near the same as seen in Norway.

You can't subsidize people into a bad product or something they don't want to do. In parts of Europe you can practically be subsidized into a home if you get married and have kids - but the policy isn't working. If EV's were so impractical in Norway's winters, they wouldn't be dominating the roads even if you gave them away for free.

That's like pointing to that I have the technology for making coffee but failing to recognize that I've run out of coffee grounds, or there was some interruption in the water or electricity supply.

Not when Norway has a lower population density and colder winters than most of the United States.

There's a global shortage on many critical minerals for producing batteries and high efficiency motors for BEVs. Some estimates show it could take 30 years to get production to where we need it to be for BEVs to replace the ICEV as the default option for cars and light trucks.

Theoretical limits that aren't impacting manufacturing today.

Norway is relatively small.

Which should work against EV's with a smaller power grid and lower population density for chargers.

Norway has a relatively large fiscal surplus from natural resource exports they partly spend on EVs.

US has also given tax subsidies to EV's for decades. Hasn't given them dominant market share.

Norway has a relatively high percentage of citizens with private parking.

It's relatively trivial to put chargers on streets like parking meters running off the existing grid.

Norway being relatively cold doesn't mean much.

It certainly does when cold is a well known battery killer.

The issue wasn't the climate, it was the tax policy that made EV ownership popular in Norway.

US has also had tax policies favoring EV's for decades. That hasn't given them dominant marketshare like Norway.

While the technology is there to call the EV a "mature technology" the manufacturing isn't nearly on the same level of ICEVs.

Doesn't change the fact the tech is there and ready for mass scaling.

If EV's can work in Norway, they can work anywhere. Speaking of, shouldn't you be FOR electric vehicles to be run off of nuclear power grids?

This works for Norway because their vehicle demand is relatively tiny compared to the rest of the world, there's enough global EV production that demand created by this tax in Norway had no real impact on EV prices.

Nothing stops vehicle manufacturers from making more EV's when it's a mature technology.
