The Real EV Capital of The World

The EV capital of the world is not Oslo, like many believe. 96% market share and 40% fleet share for EVs is a high number. How will this progress in other countries?

Recently bought my first EV. I now use any excuse to take a drive.

[DefiantAML]

Hope to see this all over the world. I ride my bmw ce-04 to work every day and I'm tired of breathing car and truck fumes every day.

Norway is showing the path for the rest of the World. EV everywhere !

[Nik-dthm]

It would be so great if we had the same situation in Germany… but no, instead we talk about German range anxiety in 2024!!!
But still nice to see the future :)

I used a public charger for the first time in 5 months over the weekend, just for the sheer hell of it… we charge 90% at home using solar.. but where we live, in the Netherlands, we have really dense charger coverage, to the point I think that we are the 2nd EV country, just behind Norway. Every parking garage has chargers, we have chargers located in neighbourhoods as on street chargers, fuel filling stations along the highways have chargers, McDonald’s has chargers, hotels etc…

Actually, the Real EV capital of the world is Shenzhen. All the taxis and buses are electric, not to mention half the world's EVs are made there, and it's the only city with more charging stations than gas stations. As a plus, it has the same climate as Hawaii, perfect for EVs

Love this series. Keep it up. It's a great insight seeing Norway putting emphasis on the ubiquity of chargers to make the adoption a lot more digestible. I watched Bjorn a lot and witnessed the whole transformation in his 1000 km challenge series.

[MortenBlindheim]

Just a point to make on the parking garage in Bergen. The next row is for front charging like Nissan Leaf. They put up that rule to make it easier with parking as the spots are very tight in that garage.

Nice video which shows EV just works in contrast to what is said. I agree having a charger at home makes life a little bit easier, but if you have at every shop many 50 kW DC chargers, not having one at home is not an issue either. Better have 6x50 kW than one 300 kW DC charger at the shop, parking garage, etc., because it is cheaper to install and allows more cars to be charged. Anyway, in winter, no car will be able to charge at 300 kW if it is cold and typically you are in a shop for minimum of 30 minutes which should give you 100 km driving range at least. Maybe have a few high power charger for those who really need more.

I don't love my '23 Chevy Bolt EUV but I knew what I was getting and I content with it and pleased to have switched to EVs

[PropanePete]

I spent a couple of days in Bergen several years ago before joining the Hurtigruten and even then it was “Tesla land”, they were everywhere. Funny thing, at 01:52 in this video a silver 2006 Mk5 VW Golf TDI came into the picture. I have exactly that same car here in Australia, same colour, same wheels, etc. It has been a fantastic car and I intend keeping it for many years to come. I’m not ready for an EV yet, the charging infrastructure in rural areas is simply not there so EV’s are mainly a city thing here.

[salibaba]

Wow, huge shock, removing pumps already!
UK is not too far behind, maybe about 5-7yrs

[NatGooner]

Excellent video. Charging options in the UK are getting better every month near me.

[franiuxx]

In Poland we have coal and smog and 40000 deaths / year becouse of air pollution, and its fine. We love this

[ralphpetry]

Are you the one that was on the Out of Spec rally? That looked like so much fun. Greetings from the west coast of Canada where we just cracked the 20% level for new registrations and probably 1 - 2 % total so a long ways to go to catch up - lol! We have many EV haters still so full adoption will take decades unfortunately.

[curlytoezz]

Ugh this is literally a dream to see. The USA needs to hurry up.. But i dont think itll happen :(

[AlfarrisiMuammar]

The ev city in asia is Shenzen.
Where December 2023 recorded 25% of cars on the road are EVs.


1 million EVs out of 4 million cars Registered in the city And all EV buses

[ravzir]

Yeah, but how come so many people afford such expensive cars? Many people would buy them, but with 30k + prices, that is not possible, especially in Eastern Europe

[crestas]

Very interesting to see! I’d love to see more of this
