Norway on track to reach 100% EV sales in the next 2 years

Not a chance that many current truck owners are going electric anytime soon here at those prices...Add a newly imposed luxury tax onto that price as well.

$130k? Canadian Dollars?

What am I missing? Around here, 2-year old off-lease 1500 pickups are still $32k - $42k, at 8k to 25k miles in excellent condition. I just verified pricing at my local dealer.

You need to make at least 100k units a year to get price competition between battery and ICE. Until then I recon ICE will always be cheaper.

Horrid images of abuse abound in some third-world countries. Children are often used for mining. They would in this country too if not for changes negotiated by unions.

How do we stand the starving, bone-thin kids in Ethiopia when we have entire aisles in the grocery store laden with chips and another just for soda pop or beer? When we come close to wasting as much food as we eat?!

What about ism's to save the planet, I love it
Unions still allowed for child labor, they just worked to ensure it was safer. Not safe, ...safer. It took years to get kids out of harms way.

Bone thin kids in ethiopia is part reality part photo op. I used to donate to charities and would wonder why this prevailed. I wont go into it here, but that's a messed up country and someone needs to take it over. That's the only thing that will solve the problem.

We have a big issue here with big pharma / big food, an insidious issue.

Sorry, I'm thick sometimes. Didn't know @mcdougy was actually making my point, for me.

List price in the states for a platinum lighting with the big battery is 97k still crazy but nowhere near that price. But ice truck prices are insane if you go top of the line as well. But honestly all the prices listed there are insane. That Miata is 10k over max price of a new one.

ICE F150 platinum starts at 65K the limited starts at 85K

Yeah starts at. That price I listed was the top (without destination charge for the lighting. It still definitely costs more but not that much more

I hear you. But don't forget those are Canuck dollars, which are exchanging at only 75 cents, today.

Because the problems couldn't possibly stem from the time the region was taken over, run into the ground, and then improperly divided.

No that couldn't possibly be the issue. Well one of them

The thread has gone a long way from the remarkable transition that Norway has accomplished. Getting lost in the weeds is part of why the US is falling behind.
