#20 Electric Vehicles: Lessons from world leading Norway


Listen Later

How did Norway become the world’s most successful electric

vehicle market? Last month almost 80 percent of all new cars sold in Oslo were
EVs and across the entire country it was 58 percent. Even more remarkable is
that the soaring popularity of EVs is despite the lower operating efficiency
that batteries achieve in cold climates. This in turn exacerbates the biggest
challenge facing the manufacturers and policy makers who are seeking to
convince vehicle owners to shift away from thermal power: range anxiety.

So what is Norway’s secret to overcoming the challenges as

decarbonising transport and what can other countries learn from the land of the
midnight sun? Find out in this episode of Engineering Matters.

Created at the Nordic EV Summit, organised by the Norwegian
