The global shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) is underscored by Norway's remarkable achievement of the highest EV adoption rate in the world, with 82% of new car sales being electric in 2023. This Scandinavian country has set a precedent through effective policies including consumer subsidies and leveraging its abundant hydroelectric power to support EV adoption. Furthermore, Norway is set to prohibit the sale of new ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles by law in less than 10 months. Experts suggest that for other countries to follow Norway's lead, it is crucial to streamline permitting processes and provide incentives for building the necessary EV charging infrastructure. Additionally, the affordability and accessibility of emissions-free electricity are vital for the electrification movement to benefit both the climate and the industry.
Innovative entrepreneurs and incumbents are finding new ways to turn electricity into useful forms of heat, which is particularly useful for cleaning up industry. But the rules need to be right for it to become an attractive prospect for business https://t.co/q36qCGRBSV 👇

Electric vehicles are the future, and the way to get to that future faster is to streamline permitting and provide incentives to build the necessary charging infrastructure, not try to bully people into buying electric cars for which that infrastructure is not yet adequate. https://t.co/d9nzZOTiuK
