Sweeden and Norway, where battery performance is impaired by the colder climate. The next absurd thing would be Alaska announcing a ban of ICE vehicles after 2030.

I drive an EV in Norway for soon 4 years, there is no performance impact whatsoever. Sure you use salon heater way more, but battery capacity hardly budges.

Winters are pretty mild throughout more populated parts of Norway and Sweden.
