> Norway has extreme incentives
To expand on that, electric cars in Norway has so extreme incentives...
That price-wise Tesla Model S is not competing with Ferrari, Lambourghini, BMW M3, Mercedes Amg’s or anything like that.
It’s competing with a mid range Audi A4.
Basically, regular petrol cars are so heavily taxed that EVs (which are exempt from all these taxes), can be a luxury car in any country on earth and still come out relatively cheap in Norway.
