We have been traveling in Norway for the past week and have fallen in love with the country, justly renowned for its stunning natural beauty and gracious people.
On our many walks through Bergen and Oslo, we noted something was missing. In the center of these two main cities, where buses, trams, and bicycles are ubiquitous, the streets are tranquil and traffic noise pollution is dramatically diminished. Why? One good reason is that near-silent electric vehicles and their charging stations are abundant. In fact, a staggering 40 percent of new vehicle registrations in Norway are EVs.
Elon Musk loves Norway, too, and in this article had something to say about Norway’s goal to purge the country of fossil-fuel powered cars by 2025. We think they’ll easily do it.
