I'm not sure really. EVs are huge in Scandinavia. Per capita, Norway even has he largest fleet of EVs in the world.

My EV gas a built-in heat pump to warm up during winter, so there's definitely solutions for colder regions.

They are huge in the warm, wealthy areas in Norway. In the rest of Norway they hardly exist. I got a really expencive EV a few months ago, and surprise, surprise, importants features stop working completely when it gets below +5 degrees. Not looking forward to the winter.

This is just a straight up lie.

97,7% of all personal vehicles sold in Norway in May were EV’s.

Unless you claim only 2,3% of our population live north of Trondheim, you’re just full of shit.

And if your car stops working below 5 degrees, you have a shitty car. Both our EV’s worked fine in -30 just two years ago.
I had to charge more often, that was it

You call me a liar and then immediately claims that literally all vehicles that exists in Norway were bought this May... Wow...

97,7 % of all vehicles sold in May were electric.

Over 50% of all cars on the road are electric.

Your reading comprehension is on par with your knowledge of electric cars
