    I’m not sure really. EVs are huge in Scandinavia. Per capita, Norway even has he largest fleet of EVs in the world.

    My EV gas a built-in heat pump to warm up during winter, so there’s definitely solutions for colder regions.

      They are huge in the warm, wealthy areas in Norway. In the rest of Norway they hardly exist. I got a really expencive EV a few months ago, and surprise, surprise, importants features stop working completely when it gets below +5 degrees. Not looking forward to the winter.

      Late edit: Someone fell into a complete hysteria over this post, so I’ll just post the statistics I was referring to here as well in case anyone else sees this post and are curious: https://elbil.no/om-elbil/elbilstatistikk/elbilbestand/ A couple of the numbers (from 2025 of course as we, naturally, don’t have 2026 numbers yet): 11.9% of cars in Finnmark are EVs. 32.1% of the cars in Norway are EVs.

        This is just a straight up lie.

        97,7% of all personal vehicles sold in Norway in May were EV’s.

        Unless you claim only 2,3% of our population live north of Trondheim, you’re just full of shit.

        And if your car stops working below 5 degrees, you have a shitty car. Both our EV’s worked fine in -30 just two years ago.
        I had to charge more often, that was it

          You call me a liar and then immediately claims that literally all vehicles that exists in Norway were bought this May… Wow…

            97,7 % of all vehicles sold in May were electric.

            Over 50% of all cars on the road are electric.

            Your reading comprehension is on par with your knowledge of electric cars

                Just sit down and stop lying.

                For those who can’t read Norwegian: Nationally, 98,6% of ALL cars sold in Norway in April this year were electric.
                In every single fylke (state/region), the percentage was over 95%. He’s referencing total car pool, whick takes 20 years to replace.

                This guy is full of shit for some unknown reason, but he’s sticking to it.

                EV’s work fine in cold climates as proven every god damn winter in the Nordic countries alone.

                I’m out if this dumb argument now. You were wrong, shit happens. Stop spreading lies in the future just because you like changing oil and spending all your savings on servicing your old fosil cars. The rest of us live in the present
