Lessons from Norway for U.S. EV Adoption
노르웨이가 미국 전기차 채택에 주는 교훈
Norway's exceptional success in electric vehicle(EV) adoption offers valuable lessons for the US.
With 82% of new car sales being EVs, Norway leads the world in this regard, driven by government incentives dating back to the 1990s.
These incentives include free parking, bus lane access, toll exemptions, and crucially, no taxes on zero-emission vehicles.
The availability of EV models, particularly Tesla, spurred the exponential growth in sales over the past decade.
Oslo, Norway's capital, epitomizes the electric revolution, electrifiying not just cars but also ferries, buses, trucks, and even construction equipment.
The country's abundant hydropower facilitates the transition, ensuring affordable and renewable energy for EV charging infrastructure.
Norway's success highlights the importance of proactive government policies and robust infrastructure development.
It goes without saying that the ample hydropower gives it the upper hand.
With a clear goal of achieving 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2025, Norway sets a compelling example for nations seeking to accelerate their transition to sustainable transportation.
