Why Norway is ahead in electric vehicle sales?

Today, the world's car fleet, according to the most conservative estimates, exceeds 1.5 billion vehicles. At the same time, the total number of electric vehicles is only 0.7% of the mentioned indicator. The paradox is that electric cars appeared earlier than vehicles with an internal combustion engine. However, the lack of critically important technology in the 1840s did not allow the potential of such vehicles to be unleashed. As a result, the market went entirely to ICE-powered cars. Times are changing, and right now electric cars are successfully expanding into the vastness of the transport industry. Welcome to Innovative Techs! Learn why Norway is leading the way in electric vehicle sales as well as leading the electric passenger car revolution. #technology #Norway #electric #cars Don’t miss next videos: Press the little bell ((🔔)) to get notifications Production Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound.
