    I don’t think 17% is “a very small percentage”

    And I believe 90% of new cars sold in Norway this year were electric

    Remember to discount any stats from the US, they’re always at least a decade behind on everything

      It’s a far different view from this continent. The percentage of EVs is much lower, legacy manufacturers are backtracking on building new EVs, our new fascist regime wants to ban them, and somehow the answer to keeping up with the world is to block it with tariffs. Only like a dozen US states have committed to no new ICE cars after 2035, and that starting to seem very unlikely I’m sure there are already people planning on hoarding dinosaur burners

      I just looked up your source. That is of new vehicles sold. While a good start, you’re skipping my latter part about people not replacing their vehicles for a decade. Only 3% of vehicles globally on the road are EVs per the source.
