Talk about a misleading title…
New registrations =/= EVs at 30% we still have a long way to go
Aye, even Norway with EVs at 98%+ of new car registrations is at more than about 20% of total number of vehicles.
Having said that, I’m still glad that the EV share at the German market is increasing. And I do wonder how many read the title as anything other than “of new car sales market”
It is a lot of PHEV in the 31 %. Looking only at BEVs it is 20 %.
Aye. But I’m still happy those aren’t ICE-only. It still speaks of a shift and it adds up in volume. Ironically, the 2 leading nations are both oil producers.
China is at 50%+ BEV this year for new sales. That’s an eighth of the regrowth of fossil fuel this year, just in China. It will take some time, but it is happening.
What will happen on the fossil fuel market in Norway in five years? All of a sudden, the newest fossil fuel car is 6 years old. Where will they get fuel? Sure, in Oslo there will be some petrol stations to find yet. But what about in the scarcely populated half of Norway which is north of Trondheim? In an ironic twist, electricity will be the abundant, safe and available option. Ironic because that has been the argument against BEV for so many years. “Where will I find chargers up north?”.
In a few years, chargers will be everywhere. Petrol will be in the big cities only.
As long as it aint the swasticar
Even with the govt trying to bend the rules in favor of the gas loving car industry.
If they all just adapted to electric everything would be so much easier and financially healthy in the long term.
Yet burning out on fossil fuel it is!
