A lot of ICE cars still around so that headline is a tad misleading.
bookofjoe’s title modifications were reasonable, I included the original title in my comment for searchability in the future
29% electric, 7% plug-in hybrid, 5% conventional hybrid, 33% diesel and 25% gasoline [1].
Diesel and gasoline infrastructure is complementary. Within the next 3 years, we should see EVs represent 50% of the Norwegian fleet. I’m watching to see at what threshold pumped-fuel infrastructure starts falling into a doom loop.
