electric vehicle (EV) drivers to wait in line for hours at charging stations last month; some even found themselves stranded when their battery died while they waited in the queues.

I’m sure “some” ICE cars have also ran out of fuel while queueing, seems like a bit of a nothing statement. More stations are needed and range does get lower in colder conditions that is known. Waiting until you have 30 miles left when you know electric cars lose 15% of range isn’t smart.

Norway does winter testing on their vehicles and I’m sure people ask other people about car performance.

When I went to Oslo I only took public transport.

I even used to to take the bus to the forest. I walked into the bush for hours then slept. Decided I couldn’t be bothered walking back. Checked my paper map and walked into a one road town/suburb and took the bus back. That’s how much faith I had that some random place would have a regular bus going to the city centre.

I think the only logical conclusion would be EV actually work better in the cold than what you have been told. Maybe that’s the same for charging stations or maybe Norway builds to a standard that fits their climate and doesn’t cut corners.

Coal is on it’s deathbed the world over.

With the price solar and batteries are going gas is going to be dead very soon in places that don’t have European winter solar potential.
