    More than 80 percent of new cars sold in Norway now are EVs.

    Which also means that all the talk in the US about EVs not being reliable in cold-weather states is just pure crap from politicians trying to protect oil and the gasoline car industry.

        20% is huge on cheaper (i.e not horribly expensive) EV 's when you’ll already be on the edge of your range for daily use. Luckily though, most people don’t live in northern latitudes.

        It depends on a number of factors: outdoor temperature, the model of car, whether climate control is used. At temperatures of an average January daytime high where I live, using climate control, range can decrease by 40% and anecdotally my model is even higher.

      And over 90% if you count PHEVs too. Norway demonstrates electric vehicles are completely viable.

      Who are the manufacturers building these cars? I’m curious how many are the very same manufacturers we have in the US and where the disparity occurs.

      No one says they are unreliable. Thier range is just reduced in extreme temperatures. That’s a much bigger problem foe the US than it is foe Norway.
