“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.”

Not really. They have a very simple tax device that ensures EVs are cheaper than thermal cars. China has put in place something similar. It is not a rich country thing. It is about being serious about its transition
Which is just making all cars more expensive for everyone, meaning that Norweigans who can buy new cars are wealthy enough to buy expensive cars.
So what. Nice red herring.
The cost of the EVs are in black and white listed on any dealers website in norway.
They are stil, on average, 3 times the price of an ICE vehicle.
They are not subsidised to parity, far far from it.
The tax has just trippled the cost of vehicles.
Do you haver a source for that?
I have read they reached parity, I would be happy to have a way to contradict that.
[edit mods here love astroturfing and removed “my source”]
Source is simple. Local prices from the car dealerships. Its in black and white.
