Norway has got 40 000 registered EVs driven by renewable energy only. Hydro and wind produce
99% of the total electricity production. The energy is stored in huge water reservoirs giving Norway the
capability of supplying both effect, energy and quality. Under these conditions, you may understand why
the Norwegians love electric devices of all kind, and electric vehicles in particular. 15% of the new car sale
