Norway has done the groundwork, and 84% of the new cars sold back in January. Only 5% are pure ICE vehicles.
As I said, the Norwegians have put in more effort than almost anyone else, but they are not magical. We could do the same.

Because Norway forces people to buy electric cars. It is not effort. It is compliance with an oligarchy. It is tyranny.

I would like to buy an electric car, when they have a range of 400 miles and a ten minute charging time?!! There is one other thing, what if you are an apartment dweller, where do you charge you car while at home?!! I hope to end my driving days in an electric vehicle?!!

Normal is about 148k sq miles and the US is 3.4 million sq miles so you can’t compare the two

Until Norway implemented the incentives below, nobody was buying the damn things. The government had to come in and put massive bribes--err, incentives-- in place to get buyers.
The Norwegian EV incentives:
No purchase/import taxes (1990-)
Exemption from 25% VAT on purchase (2001-)
No annual road tax (1996-2021). Reduced tax from 2021. Full tax from 2022..
No charges on toll roads or ferries (1997- 2017).
Maximum 50% of the total amount on ferry fares for electric vehicles (2018-)
Maximum 50% of the total amount on toll roads (2019)
Free municipal parking (1999- 2017)
Parking fee for EVs was introduced locally with an upper limit of a maximum 50% of the full price (2018-)
Access to bus lanes (2005-). New rules allow local authorities to limit the access to only include EVs that carry one or more passengers (2016)
50 % reduced company car tax (2000-2018). Company car tax reduction reduced to 40% (2018-) and 20 percent from 2022.

Like every bad idea the Left has, the only way they can get people to do it is to bribe them with piles of OPM.
