“Norway is the world leader when it comes to the take up of electric cars, which last year accounted for nine out of 10 new vehicles sold in the country.”

    Which is just making all cars more expensive for everyone, meaning that Norweigans who can buy new cars are wealthy enough to buy expensive cars.

        So what. Nice red herring.

        The cost of the EVs are in black and white listed on any dealers website in norway.

        They are stil, on average, 3 times the price of an ICE vehicle.

        They are not subsidised to parity, far far from it.

        The tax has just trippled the cost of vehicles.

            So, you make bullshit up. Read the comment in its entirety.

          Do you haver a source for that?

          I have read they reached parity, I would be happy to have a way to contradict that.

      To my understanding, the taxes have been there all along. They didn’t add new taxes for ICE cars, they just issued some tax breaks for EVs. So the cars haven’t gotten any more expensive, since that’s what Norwegians would have been paying anyway (Whether taxes in general are excessively high in Norway is another issue entirely).
