For all the commenters below, I think the purpose of this talk is not simply how viable electric cars are in your country. This talk is highlighting that major policy changes are only possible when change comes from above, below and in between - all sectors of your population working together - either for economical, political, or personal reasons. Maybe electric cars are not viable in your region, okay, then what other major changes for the better is your region capable of accomplishing?

It's streaks ahead of other nations because Norway waives import duties and car registration taxes for electric vehicles. The country's electricity comes almost exclusively from hydropower, making electric car use in Norway particularly clean.

Great to hear how Norway has achieved this milestone of making their environment cleaner. Still more to do, getting the rest of the ICE vehicles off the road, but a great start!

A shortcoming to using Norway as an example when it comes to electric mobility is that the world may not have enough extractable materials to convert the entire world’s auto fleet to electric vehicles. Also: for many countries more investment in public or semi-public transportation, particularly outside/between cities, would be much more effective than worrying about changing people’s behaviour for private vehicle purchase. Norway already has excellent intercity bus and train service. Countries like Canada, where I’m from, could reduce emissions considerably more and more efficiently, by improving and encouraging public transit use.

Great! Clean streets, healthy people

it is a excellent idea to help people to thing about our environment, thanks for made job :)

100% of energy in Norway is from hydropower. So they don't depend on solar activity, winds, prices or time. A river produces the same amount of energy per night as it produces per day. They also have water storages to get more electricity if there is a need. So in my oppinion their example is great but worthless for most of countries in the world. There are few who can recieve 100% of their energy from hydropower so

This TEDx talk is an inspiration to the world, showcasing how a small country like Norway can make a significant impact on reducing carbon emissions and creating a sustainable future. The success of electric cars in Norway is a result of a combination of factors, including government incentives, public awareness campaigns, and investment in charging infrastructure. Christina Bu's passion for sustainability and determination to drive change is contagious, and it's evident that the Norwegian model can be replicated in other countries. Let's all take action and work towards a greener, cleaner future.

So looking forward to Nordic EV Summit. Great Talk!

Until electric vehicles are genuinely affordable, and there becomes an abundance of second hand electric cars available for sale, increasing the taxation on internal combustion engines will only hurt people with low incomes

Norway is smart- they stop using oil by investing in alternate propulsions for transportation. This way they can export more oil, make more money and invest the money in their pension fund. If us stopped using oil, it’ll have a big trade surplus.

Buying a brand new car every 2 years has a bigger impact on the environment, that keeping your old car for 6 years. Production of a brand new car is very costly. Hence 3 brand new cars, have a much larger carbon footprint, than 1 car. So if you are buying new cars all the time, you are not really green, compared to the ones who keep owning their car, for as long as it can be maintained.

Let's be real, shall we? The ONLY reason why Norway has many EVs is because the purchase tax is waived. This tax typically made a car from twice to five times more expensive than the country of origin depending on motor power, weight, CO2, and NOX. This is ALL there is to it. No other country in the world will be able to copy this because no other country has such a crazy tax regime, well except Denmark.

​@@zedeco There are 0 subsidies. VAT is applied to the amount above 500K NOK. Tolls and ferries are now up to 70% of normal fee for EVs, used to be 50%. The annual fee for owning an EV is higher than ICE cars. What battery replacement? There are plenty of examples where Tesla Model S have done over 120k miles and still have over 70% of original battery capacity. Even so a new battery will cost 10-30K USD usually depending on model. Replacing defective modules is much cheaper. Know how to take care of the battery and it will last a long time. Don't charge to 100% every day or leaving car at 100% a lot. Keep battery at 45-75% for every day use if possible and it will help extend the life of the battery a lot. It may throw off the BMS after a while so a slow full charge will help rebalance the cells. Slow charge as much as possible as DC fast charging is not good for the battery over time. Tire wear is not much higher than ICE cars if you know how to drive. People wearing out tires is because they accelerate and brake to hard. If you drive a lot and get over 200k km (~125k mi) in a few years you'd have saved a lot of money on fuel. The difference in running cost here in Norway on an EV using 180Wh/km (3.5mi/kWh) vs ICE car using 7L/100km (~33mpg) is insane. If you charge 80% at home its around 3.5 times cheaper to drive an EV. Even if you only fast charge it should be nearly half he price. We pay around 7.5-8.0 USD/gallon for gasoline. Home charging is 9-15c/kWh while fast charging is around 43-53c/kWh in winter. In summer it can be down to 33c/kWh. Subscribe to Tesla SuC (~12$/month) or own a Tesla and you find prices down around 24c/kWh.

It's the excuse the US always use when something requires them to actually do something. The only impression I get is that people from the US has given up already, nothing can be done there.

The cost of this revolution is approximately 4 billion usd pr year (39,8 NOK according to state budget) paid by 5 million people. (= ca 800usd/person) This started as a rescue for the Norwegian Th!nk car, and when iMiev, Leaf and Tesla suddenly came, the intensifies became irreversible. Worst of all is that the electric cars is not suitable for poor people, even though it is cheaper in use, because those el-cars how also works for long distances it's still heavy priced, and it's very impractical if can't charge it at home. The environmental gain versus a Prius or other modern ice is marginal, so use your money on things that matter instead.

12 hours charging? You’re not using a 350 kw Tesla charger. 95% of car owners drive less less than 30 miles a day.

We shouldn't have to be FORCED by the government to not have a CHOICE / freedom to choose. Here in USA the same is happening, but it's taking away freedom.

One alternative is scrubbing the endless supply of carbon from our atmosphere in order to make a fuel that is minimally polluting to include large trucks and aircraft.

Great! Our rich neighbour has money for cash tax discounts on new electric cars. Has this large (area-wise) rich oil-producing country with a small population thought about the negative side of EV ownership? 1) Use of child labour for minerals in Africa and the ecological devastation in those countries? 2) EV great if we all dont live in flats without overnight charging facilities. 3) Proven fact that in cold climates eg. Scandinavia, Canada etc. EV lose power and not very reliable. 4) You have to live in a rich country like Norway to have the investments in charging stations!

1) absurdly overblown and ignores how materials for ICE cars don't magicly appear either. 2) still cheaper to charge anywhere than buying gas 3) reliability is no issue. but just like ICE cars you waste energy, both for heating and due to higher rolling resistance on snowy roads. 4) yes, a richer country can start building infrastructure and more importantly, spend the time and money to learn how to build it... you know.. just like it was for ICE cars. the infrastructure for refining and transporting and distributing gas didn't magicly appear over night anywhere either.

How did they make up for the lost tax revenue?

I like electric cars and if I could afford one I would buy one. But people thinking they are helping the planet buying electric cars they are not helping. After you mine the metals out of the ground to make the batteries and you have to make the electric to charge the battery, you are not carbon free.

People are too preoccupied in the money. We invest it in the soverain wealth fund, we only use about 3% of the revenue on the national budget every year.

50% of Norway's export is gas an oil. Norway has a long shoreline and very few people, perfect conditions for harnessing sufficient energy from wind farms. There is no secret to how they succeeded that can be used elsewhere. Simple fact is that most people in the world cannot afford an electric car, and even if they did, there would be no infrastructure to charge them, not to mention that most energy that goes into those cars still come from fossil fuels. For now elecctric cars are greenwashing for the rich.

CO2 in the amounts we have, is the level plants of today have evolved to work with. many plants will grow slower if you increase CO2 concentrations, and if they go to a certain level it's literally lethal to animals. also food means energy carrier, and CO2 doesn't carry energy.

Ummm yea no.

The Norwegian Plan for EV adoption: 1) Discover oil & gas, and save up a trillion dollars over 50 years. 2) Situate yourself in a geographical location that supports 91.5% Hydro power. 3) Change the tax structure so that 78% of the road fleet (78% = the EVs) are effectively untaxed, a step that is easily affordable (see Step 1 for instructions). 4) Don't mention the existence of other users of fossil fuels, such as heavy construction equipment and aircraft. Keep the focus on EV cars. Yep, easy peasy.

No big deal the total population of Norway is about the size of Minnesota. And hardly any roads that can have two cars pass.

Do you spend more time feeling grateful for what you do have… or disappointed for what you don’t? Imagine you are holding any problems in your hand. Like a little toy, or a stone. Turn the problem around, as if it was a diamond with many facets. Allow yourself the fullness of the experience. See the different colors flashing, representing how multi-faceted the world really is. The change of perspective will allow you to see more than you could before. Is there anything you can now see that the pain was blocking?

So its all about taxing. I think BEVs should be able to stand by theirselves. No incentives needed. The manufactures should be in charge of making them better and cheaper than fossil cars and not the government!

Owning an electric vehicle is the arena of the rich and wealthy. Try living in a terraced house where you have to park your vehicle on a street away from your house, what are people like that going to do?, run a charging cable down the street from their house? 😂. Only people who own private driveways attached to their homes can do that. Once a system is implemented that van charge cars as they drive along, only then will all the world be able to make the switch.

You spent so much time taking “Off Subject”. Addressed Taxes-Yes, but driving distance was not addressed. You live in a small country with now where to drive. So short drives between charges are no problem. On long drives, it takes 5-10 minutes to re-charge (fill) my gas tank. How long would it take to re-charge an EV? How do I get re-charged if I’m between charging station???
