Btw, in Norway 92% of new car sales in January were electric cars, and apparently predictions for February are even higher.
When the infrastructure is there, people appear to have little to no qualms buying electric cars.
How they got rich doesn't change their sales figures. Other countries that got rich in different ways could apply the same techniques.
No, you are right. But I do think most countries do use the same techniques, the problem is they can't give subsidies for up to 50% of the new car price. It is simply not sustainable. There are also not enough cars to go around even if they did and even if most people had enough money burning in their pocket for a new car, which they don't.
I just find the how they got rich ironic..
