Norway’s electric car success | World Notebook 

Why tho

where do you think dangerous to environment batteries at the end?

At the battery factory, where EV manufacturers pay a lot to get precious resources out to turn them in new batteries. Where do you think that dangerous to the environment oil from your transmission box goes?

I do not have transmission box and cars, owning any types of cars is damaging to environment and economy. Running electrical car - is not an excuse, you do not have high moral ground. If we don't start using busses and trains - we will never deal with transport problems...

What gives you the idea that buses and trains are more environmentally friendly than EV cars? Buses and trains at off-peak hours usually carry very few passengers and are much less efficient than a smaller, right-sized vehicle would be. Also, measuring efficiency on a passenger mile per gallon basis ignores that public transit routes usually take passengers miles off of a direct route to their final destination. Carpooling in an EV is likely to be the best of all powered transport options. Of course, buses and trains are also likely to be powered by fossil fuels as well.

Strofi Kornego Places like ITAP (formerly IT Asset Partners). The materials in high energy Lithium & Sodium batteries are precious & valuable. There is many companies hungry for worn out batteries to recycle for Financial Gain. Compared to Fossil Fuel Refinery who produce fuel that is used ONCE and dumped into the atmosphere. Even worse the Aromatic Bnezonoids that the petrochemical industry gets from crude. Which are orders of magnitude LD50 more toxic than anything in modern batteries. Even Buses for Public Transport are upgrading BEV faster rate than private cars. e.g. BYD & Proterra. Batteries are soo much better your criticism seem pointless.

Irony indeed, but think of all the fuel we'll need in the future for SpaceX! LOL!

Thes West side of Oslo (Rich part), has seen at 30% drop in Gasoline sales.

right. that's not a market transition so it's no sustainable.

You are friendly all around, like Canadians.

That`s a pretty weird assumption. Most people have garages or carports in Norway. And now in 2023 when 88%(plus 10% hybrid) of new cars are electric, most have their own charging setups at home.

what does that even mean

no free lunch for these toys.

You idiot, the other competitors are Chinese Investors disguised as Silicon Valley companies. If you are stupid enough to kill the one American company that is able to put up a fight. China is going to have a Monopoly on BEVs and other advance energy technology. Massive lucrative potential that needs to be distributed to be fair.

That's not how Capitalism works. A Tesla is just another commodity in commodity society. A Tesla is worth more as strap metal than a car functioning on the road. This is why Elon wants to sell a car 'for the masses' to get into the channel stuffing game like GM et al, and get more grants for the next tranche of vehicles lined up for cash for the clunkers program, which the Chinese buy the metals by the pound. Your crazy and useless anarcho-capitalist perspective, probably read Zerohedge. Your view only makes sense if you ignore macro trends in the circulation of commodities and money. Try not to be so blind sided.

"Chinese buy the metals by the pound" (facepalm) China does not use pounds as unit of weight. Problem is you will need about a Decade before there is enough Teslas for recycling industry to be viable. These BEVs drive trains are built soo tough and have no tail pipe emission, can not qualify cash for clunkers programs. Just pointing out utter idiocy.
