      All these surveys are bullshit, I had a run in with an electric vehicle evangelist who told me that I'm a liar a survey conducted says that the average daily commute is 7 miles, my daily commute is 60 miles or at least according to the mileometer on my 13 year old diesel car, electric vehicles are accurate to the millimetre whereas my diesel with 160,000 miles on the clock (which is only used to get back and forth to work, I do my shopping on route home), has been lying to me for the past 12 years and 5 months, I have brought this up with the dealership where I purchased the car 🤣 These cars are unaffordable, unless that is, you want to sign on the dotted line and pay on the never never with sky high interest, I just observe, I walk everywhere on my days off, there's quite a few charge points in the town, only 2 are actually connected to the grid and so I'm informed, only one of them is in working order, situated in a car park where the barrier doesn't lift until you take a ticket and you're charged for the minimum parking time even if you don't charge your car and have to drive back out, the car park closes at night, and again, I'm informed that it's one of the most expensive chargers.
      I've been told that I'm a liar when I say that I work nights because electric vehicles are designed for the wealthy who don't work nights, well, no one works nights, it's just dark when I go to work and the clock reads 22:00 or 10pm, (my clocks must be wrong too), I'm also one of the many who live in the centre of town and have to park my car wherever I find a parking space (again I'm a liar, everyone has access to off road parking, home charging and can charge on cheap rate electric in the middle of the night when they are sleeping), I was even told by one UA-camr electric vehicle evangelist to "move" as obviously I can afford to just up and move, I'd get a mortgage at my age with no credit history, (my house is my own, it required a lot of work and I bought it outright with redundancy money and worked on it when I had the money to pay for what I needed, no loans, no credit card, just plain and simple cash, pound notes), for so many of us, electric vehicles are way too expensive, even when you take into account the depreciation, the infrastructure isn't there yet in many places, not everyone uses credit cards or technical phones, I don't have either (again I've been told I'm a liar), I don't like debt, my phone may be nearer to 30 years old but it still makes phone calls and I only need to charge it once or twice a week depending on the usage, when buying electric vehicles, it's not just the vehicle you need to think about buying, it's the phone, the credit card (however they work), and any other hidden costs, plus in many cases, parking charges and the likes, electric vehicles are designed specifically for the younger, wealthier people rather than the working class scum such as myself and the majority of the people

    What you must realise about Norway is that the state owned oil and gas companies are state owned, ie by the people, so subsequently each year each Norweigan citizens gets a nice cheque from the government (state) as the profits are shared out and not put in the back pockets of politicians !

    I suspect a lot of it depends on where you live. If there are plenty of charging points, you have a driveway, and solar panels, it's a no-brainer. If you live in a terrace with on street parking only, street chargers that deliver about 1.4kW and you have to visit a fast charge station frequently, not a good idea. Most people are not electrical engineers and didn't understand that.
    Back in the 2000s boom, a lot of people bought narrowboats. They seemed to imagine they were a kind of water caravan. A lot of them lost a lot of money then, too, along with the people who bought RVs. We had an office near a place that sold them, and they were sitting in the yard in some cases for years with the asking price slowly dropping. The yard wasn't run by idiots; they didn't buy them in, they hired out a yard space to the owners. Falling prices didn't worry them.

    I know lots of people with BEVs and the ones that have changed always go BEV on the subsequent ones so I am surprised so many are discontent.
    More likely dealers flipping stock.
    I think the issue is BEV repeaters already knew the best use cases, have home charging and rarely need more expensive network charging.
    The difficulty is persuading people like me. 80 mile daily commute (Superb diesel 64 mpg), need to tow a 1500kg caravan (I am not planning to get 1.3-1.6 miles/kW and recharge every 100 miles when towing until I retire and can make a day of the journey).

    Surveys nowdays are just made to order. That said, I kinda wish we'd stop focusing on weither or not EVs are gaining or losing and more on weither or not they should even exist.
    The calculations according to which EVs are cleaner than XYZ usually do lifecycles of 150.000km and 10/15 years and most of the EV's supply chain is cut out, as it's "unknown".
    All those calculations also either use the electricity mix or a optimistic estimate for it, but ignore the fact that any additional consumption would be going to coal/gas/nuklear plants.
    Also, blades from Wind Turbines AFAIK don't get reclycled or only turned into filler material but you know, calculating this other than as a "zero" would hurt the narrative.

    The domino effect will wreck the EV agenda. If there are fewer EV's on the road, or even if EV's are developed with a longer range, it will reduce the calculated revenue for the companies that set up the charging stations. They invested heavily. If they are running on borrowed money, or some stations are rarely used, they will have to start closing them down. This then leaves EV owners searching around for somewhere to charge, and means more EV owners using fewer chargers. That means long queues. Long journeys will become very difficult.
    This will mean more EV owners switching back to ICE, and again, fewer chargers. The depreciation will get even worse than it is now, and new EV sales will plummet. This will be a death spiral.

    January sales figures are out, diesel down 7.7%, petrol down 15.3%, EV up 41.6%. We'll see what happens in March when the serious sales start with the new reg.

      Yep. Petrol sales accounted for just over 50% of registrations and BEV accounted for just over 20% in January. Still don’t understand why BEV’s aren’t outselling petrol. I mean they are so good, the future, cheaper to run, blah, blah 😂😂😂

      @FirstLast-rh9jw Dealers would not be pre registering in January. Maybe at the end of the quarter or year end to get to the government figures.

    Norway has a population of 5.5 million people. It ranks 15th in oil production globally but second only to Russia in Europe. (The UK ranks 28th globally.) The Norwegian oil and gas industry has been state owned since the creation of Statoil in 1972. Statoil controls investment in infrastructure (pipelines, oil rigs, etc.) and therefore owns the equipment used to extract and distribute oil and gas and exacts rent from private operators.
    A total of eight Norwegian pipelines run directly from the North Sea to Great Britain (plus an interconnector that delivers gas via Zeebrugge.) The _Norpipe_ oil pipeline runs straight from four oil rigs smack in the middle of the North Sea to the Teesside Oil and Gas Terminal on the outskirts of Middlesbrough, as does the _Cats_ gas pipeline which originates halfway between Scotland and Norway. The _Langeled_ gas pipeline runs to Easington Gas Terminal near Hull, whilst a further five gas pipelines terminate at either St. Fergus or Cruden Bay in Scotland.
    The Norwegian state derived an income of $64 billion in 2024, a substantial decline from 2023's $92 billion due to a steep fall in the price of LNG, which had been artificially inflated due to the political instability over Russian gas supplies to Europe following the invasion of Ukraine. The revenue is deposited into the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG), which is then invested in foreign financial markets.
    In part, the revenues from fossil fuel extraction and export have been used to drive EV ownership. In 2023, 80% of new vehicle registrations were BEVs, by far the highest percentage in the world. Apart from investing heavily in public charging infrastructure, EVs are VAT exempted, are charged a discounted company car tax, pay half-price ferry and road tolls, pay reduced parking fees, are allowed to use bus lanes in Oslo. (It should also be pointed out that Norway does not use its oil and gas to generate electricity, 89% of which is generated by hydropower and 9% by wind.)
    In short, incentivizing EV ownership is a doddle when your country has seven times the revenue from oil and gas that the UK has but only has the population of Scotland.
