Electric powered vehicles are continuing to become more popular in The United States but we're no where are far along as Norway. Norway is the leader in EV's on the road, in fact, almost five out of six new cars sold in Norway last year were powered by battery only; accounting for approximately 82% of vehicles sold in 2023. Through a combination of incentives, benefits and a desire to be fully electric in the near future, Norway is a model country for what can be achieved. There have been issues with the transition that complicates the benefits of an EV. Those kinks however, can be worked out as we progress further. Not just the cars are electric either. Norway has been electrifying its ferries, buses, semi trucks and even construction equipment. Fuel pumps and parking meters are being replaced with chargers too. So what can the U.S. learn from this? That's what we're trying to find out.

** EDIT - I realize I said UV instead of EV in the beginning of this video... Sorry 😂😂
