minus-squareGiddyGap@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up76arrow-down1·1 year agoMore than 80 percent of new cars sold in Norway now are EVs. Which also means that all the talk in the US about EVs not being reliable in cold-weather states is just pure crap from politicians trying to protect oil and the gasoline car industry.
