According to the Norwegian Road Federation, in 2022, 79.3% of new cars in Norway were battery electric vehicles (BEVs). In 2021, there were only 65% of them. The number of plug-in hybrids – 8.5%, other hybrids – 5.4%, the share of new purely gasoline cars was only 3.9%, diesel cars – 2.9%.Jan 5, 2023

What is the total number of cars in Norway, and what is the number of new cars bought in 2022 or 2023? Absolute numbers, not percentages.

Electric new cars bought in 2022: 138,232

This does show that it is not “always be charging” as stated in post #2.

Of course, it is incorrect to directly extrapolate from Norway (population 5 million, 150K sq miles) to the USA (pop 332 million, 4,000L sq miles), but one can see that electric cars have a purpose and can function well enough.

As I said above, they aren’t feasible for ALL American conditions, but for some, they do make sense imho
