Hhmm. ["Not viable in your region'] .the deep cold of most of Norway is the most non viable environment for EV batteries (apart from sweltering deserts). And yet.... Norway & 80% EV sales!!....

@@alexmanojlovic768 because they force everbody to buy EVs? and subsidize the maintenance and battery change? take those subsidies away you will see the EV market crashing. and before you ask the compasete this subsidies with oil and gas sells.

Don't, you need to take action. Watching UKposts isn't it.

Qp

Not to mention the price of new batteries when they are done. Thats crazy.

100% of energy in Norway is from hydropower. So they don't depend on solar activity, winds, prices or time. A river produces the same amount of energy per night as it produces per day. They also have water storages to get more electricity if there is a need. So in my oppinion their example is great but worthless for most of countries in the world. There are few who can recieve 100% of their energy from hydropower so

How much does the Human life cost to mine the cobalt to manufacture the battery?

​@@TheButterBread Cobalt is also used in gas production, the cellphone you are using, and your computer. And where were these questions when we made cars for the past 150 years? Suddenly this is very important to people. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad this is issued, but it is not isolated to electric cars, and electric cars are moving away from cobalt. There are huge oil spills about every month, there are so many they are not worth mentioning.

Questions that has been answered by multiple studies long ago.

😂😂😂

by selling oil and gas?

You’re talking about a bigger picture. She’s basically head of an automobile association and her job is to promote cars.

Very much agree there, nobody ever seems to care where the charging power comes from. It's got to be green mate, there is no smoke coming out of the socket

Well, Germany needs oil and gas, and where would they be without it.

I have some beach front property in AZ for you to

If you put Norway over the US, it would stretch from the Mexico gulf to Canada. Driving from where I live in the south east of Norway to Paris takes less time than driving to Tromsø in the north.

@@TullaRask Which is about the size of California.

@@justme-dm7sb Well, Norway is very long and narrow, but I don't understand why everything has to be made into som US thing. I couldn't care less to be honest. Norway covers the continent of Europe from top of Germany to somewhere down the Italian Boot.

Where does the electricity come from? Where does the rate earth minerals come from? The lithium? The cobalt? NOT GREEN. Inhumane mining. And toxic lithium batteries you can’t throw away.

@@sbrown6434 I don't disagree with you but the current hydrocarbon industries are a shining example of sustainability and ethics ofcourse. The short term problem is the burning of hydrocarbons. We need to improve the solutions which we have and many are fighting to make those initiatives a reality. Arguing with each other and pointing the finger at everybody else gets us nowhere. And don't pretend that the existing hydrocarbon industries don't have a huge interest in promoting those divisions.

@@sbrown6434 All the electricity in Norway comes from hydro electric plants. But even woth the «average European energy mix» (hydro, gas, coal, nuclear) an electric car is still much cleaner than a fossil car

Seems a lot of people commenting here seem to be smoking ALOT of Ganja with a little extra ingredients added….. they prolly think Santa Claus comes every December as well….!lol. Hey guys I have some beach front property in Arizona too! Don’t forget about my deal!

@@sbrown6434 Well, Cobalt is being used less and less in EV batteries. As for Lithium mining, Australia is the world's largest producer of lithium, and the Health and Safety requirements are pretty nuts, so that discounts your "inhumane" comment. As for throwing away Lithium batteries - Why would you throw then away, when they can happily be recycled? The world is rapidly changing, would suggest that you possibly look to different sources from where your "research" is coming from and revisit your ideas.

An MG4 is now the same cost as a Ford Fiesta…though better performance

We are! Transportation is just one of the largest portions of carbon emissions and it's widely understood as such among lots of people. Other industry like construction, energy production, and manufacturing also have large focuses on reducing carbon emissions

If we use coals to generate electricity, the larger percent of electric cars is useless. We still generate carbon emissions.

The world is complicated and we have to start somewhere. If we instead focus on what we can't do, nothing will ever be done.

they sell oil and gas they are no better the arabes.

Norway is big and challenging in area, while small in population. Norway is the size of Japan in area, but only 5 mill people. Someone said only 2,2% land is farm land, so now you know why so few people live here.

lets see when they cant sell oil and gas if the subsidies they to ev owners will last.

@@zedeco oil companies are heavily subsidized all around the world

@@royphillips7644 Only if you live in the Persian golf, Russia, and some SA countries, in the West its the opposite

​@@royphillips7644hm, not sure about that. In Norway they have to pay massive taxes for using our common resources.

Yeah they keep those facts out Same reason they praised New Zealand with low Covid numbers because they had a woman leader. Not the fact the Island has twice as many sheep as humans. But Mongolia (the most mascuiline Asian country) was ignored, same reason as NZ on why they had low numbers

Interesting point

they are outsourcing their pollution, they pollute the same, but if it out of sight it is out of mind.

my 16 year old ICE car is more eco friendly then evs, we have a consumist problem that take more resources that earth can produce that is the real problem that no one whant to talk about because they want to buy their new iPhone every year instead of keeping the old one that still work but it is 1 year older.

erm.. that would imply people are buying a new car every 2 years then trashing them... ye.. no... that doesn't happen. People who love to drive new cars mostly just subsidise those who don't mind a barely used one, and who will drive that for 5-10 years and sell it of to someone who needs a cheap car to drive until it's no longer worth repairing.

And that was her point in parts of the talk. Tax what you don't want more and people will slowly change. If you don't tax these things already, well then maybe it's time.

@@Gazer75 No, that's the ONLY point.

@@Gazer75 maybe its time for you to pay 100% tax for your ev and no subsidies, lets see how long you can last paying 60K battery replacement and tires wear out way faster then ICE so more polution.

​@@zedeco There are 0 subsidies. VAT is applied to the amount above 500K NOK. Tolls and ferries are now up to 70% of normal fee for EVs, used to be 50%. The annual fee for owning an EV is higher than ICE cars. What battery replacement? There are plenty of examples where Tesla Model S have done over 120k miles and still have over 70% of original battery capacity. Even so a new battery will cost 10-30K USD usually depending on model. Replacing defective modules is much cheaper. Know how to take care of the battery and it will last a long time. Don't charge to 100% every day or leaving car at 100% a lot. Keep battery at 45-75% for every day use if possible and it will help extend the life of the battery a lot. It may throw off the BMS after a while so a slow full charge will help rebalance the cells. Slow charge as much as possible as DC fast charging is not good for the battery over time. Tire wear is not much higher than ICE cars if you know how to drive. People wearing out tires is because they accelerate and brake to hard. If you drive a lot and get over 200k km (~125k mi) in a few years you'd have saved a lot of money on fuel. The difference in running cost here in Norway on an EV using 180Wh/km (3.5mi/kWh) vs ICE car using 7L/100km (~33mpg) is insane. If you charge 80% at home its around 3.5 times cheaper to drive an EV. Even if you only fast charge it should be nearly half he price. We pay around 7.5-8.0 USD/gallon for gasoline. Home charging is 9-15c/kWh while fast charging is around 43-53c/kWh in winter. In summer it can be down to 33c/kWh. Subscribe to Tesla SuC (~12$/month) or own a Tesla and you find prices down around 24c/kWh.

@@Gazer75 i dont need to read a text wall when i can go to the official government source use a translator that i develop my self and see for my self, bullshiting to me doesn't work, your oil and gas pay for all those subsidies and benefits, nothing is free and EVs are not low cost because of the rare minerals your government is paying to lower evs price and no taxes when they damage more the road.

Norway is still over 385.000 km², you can't just ignore Svalbard, Bjørnøya and Jan Mayen ;)

@@Gazer75 Not the mainland.^^

@@NSA.Monitored.Device uh? I didn't hear any mention of mainland in the video. Even so the islands are part of the Kingdom of Norway, so they can't be ignored when looking at total area. If so then maybe we should remove Rügen from the area of Germany? It is an island after all :P

Land area maybe, but Norway is the length of continental Europe to somewhere down the Italian boot, where Germany only covers half of it.

Why not? The number of people is just different. Pretty sure there are way more EVs in the US than Norway by a wide margin. Imagine if there were more tax incentives. Problem with the US is how the tax system works (who is taxed and how much) and what the tax money is spent on. I see people use the argument that Norway has oil and gas and because of that they are rich. The US dont? They got loads more natural resources than Norway ever had, but it was privatized and the profits went to a few. In Norway the oil and gas industry is taxed 78% or something.

@@Gazer75 you clearly have no knowledge of physics or engineering infrastructure.

@@zedeco Your point being what?

It's the excuse the US always use when something requires them to actually do something. The only impression I get is that people from the US has given up already, nothing can be done there.

Electric is only better in isolation. The best thing for the environment is alternative fuels and CO2 recapture.

How do you want to achieve the necessary transformation then without nudging through taxes etc.? The argument of freedom is a lame one, because there is no freedom in polluting the environment, when an alternative is at hand....

No, you are correct there. Fossil fuels should be taxed accordingly to how much damage they do the environment, and highly polluting companies should stop receiving federal grants, bailouts and protection from foreign oil and gas extraction. Exxon Mobil cost American taxpayers between 12 to 19 billion dollars - Each year

Hydroelectric power ;), we don't use oil domestically. Norway is rich in natural resources.

Thats not good. Youre ruining the rivers and changing the biodiversity in the area. Hydroelectric damns are awful. Got anything better?@@TullaRask

Youre drying up rivers.. just to make electricity. Next@@TullaRask

@@Aksm91ManNavar lol, some have very little of it, we have too much. Anyways they are all old from around 1920 or something, a bit late to cry now.

@@Aksm91ManNavar we're not drying up rivers, we're picking up waterfalls before they land. That's the most efficient way to do it. We've been doing it for as long as anyone has lived in this country. Water falling is very powerful and can be used to run Mill with wheels etc.

Still way more green than fossil cars. There you have emissions for its entire life, including all the emissions to produce and transport that fuel to the consumer. Public transport can also be green. There are lots of electric, and bio gas busses in Norway as well. Trams, light rail and subways are electric. The regular rail network is mostly electrified as well. And they are extending this. Trondheim-Stjørdal and the Meråker line is being electrified. The rest of the Nordland railroad is probably getting partially electrified by using battery driven locos when it is to expensive to do so. There are some parts where to many tunnels and bridges would have to be rebuilt compared to the amount of traffic on the line.

@@Gazer75 yes public transport is great, but if we want to replace all fossil cars with EV's, we'll have a lithium shortage on our hand. That's why EV's aren't a real solution, we shoulf start by replacing the car with walking or public transport when possible, then reduce the size of cars instead of making huge SUV's and only then make small sized EV's

@@guillaume5313 Pretty sure recycling batteries will happen before any lithium shortage. Wouldn't surprise me if they come up with some battery tech using more common materials at some point.

@@Gazer75 technosolutionism won't solve climate change, and recycling is a myth, the best we're able to do is decycling (loss of quality and quantity after reycyling process) We have to accept that we need to consume less as a species if we want to face climate change

Lithium is everywhere. There is a huge deposit in Nevada in the United States and also a huge deposit in Canada.

Yes. It is just your opinion.

@@bru512 it the opnion of many, but hey as long you don't see the impacts of your green life style its ok even if people have to die from cancer because of heavy metals in the air like in the sacrificed zone in south America right?

Not with two giga, castings, and a structural battery pack. Tesla manufacturing is light years ahead of everyone else

I don't know what I was talking about 5 minutes ago let alone 5 months ago. What's your point about?

The 48 V wiring system developed by Tesla drops the demand for copper drastically. The wires are much thinner.

she didnt mention that the subsidies are payed with oil and gas, if everybody stop using oil and gas Norway collapse.

Most of our oil money goes to our soverain wealth fund, but of course nothing ever works on the US. I think we only use about 3% of the revenue to avoide inflation.

Lol Røros has temperatures up to -40 and very commonly -20 in winter and Finnmarksvidda has up to -50, but more commonly -30

@@jonnykvalnes4847 Well those cars are only city commute cars they're not for any rural northern Canadian province, territory or Alaska.

@@Django897 not to mention that the government n norway gives subsidies if you own a ev, changing a ev in norway for free is payed by the oil and gas norway sells.

@@zedecoentirely false. norwegian electricity prices is dictated by our electricity supply,. which since the early 1900s have been very very high with very low cost per kwh. recent changes (ie, using this electricity to power off shore platforms for example) have literally increased the cost of electricity, not reduced it. there's no government funded free EV charging, period.

@@Agarwaenoh boy oh boy, when you realize that all your oil and gas sell are invested in the American stock market you are going to have a rough awakening of how fragile your electricity cost is when the American stock market crashes, if you really think all of that is not being paid by the oil and gas Norway sells you have no idea how expensive is to maintain the infrastructure that produces hydroelectricity,

you need carbon so that trees can produces oxgen for you to breath, i don't get where people get this idea of co2 is bad when it is the reason they can breath without dieing.

Start your ice vehicle in the garage with the door down and then you’ll see the light. Stay there long enough, and that will be the end of you.

@@royphillips7644 do the same with any element in the periodic table that is in the air, the result is the same, so let's end O2 as well? CO2 is 0.047% in the atmosphere, we should sue the oceans since water vapor has the same effect and is 33% of the atmosphere, i can play this game as well.

1) absurdly overblown and ignores how materials for ICE cars don't magicly appear either. 2) still cheaper to charge anywhere than buying gas 3) reliability is no issue. but just like ICE cars you waste energy, both for heating and due to higher rolling resistance on snowy roads. 4) yes, a richer country can start building infrastructure and more importantly, spend the time and money to learn how to build it... you know.. just like it was for ICE cars. the infrastructure for refining and transporting and distributing gas didn't magicly appear over night anywhere either.

selling oil and gas.

and gas.

People are too preoccupied in the money. We invest it in the soverain wealth fund, we only use about 3% of the revenue on the national budget every year.

Even if EVs are 100% charged with coal, they still output less Co2 per KM than ICE powered vehicles.

@@markoshark4697 co2 is not a polluten, it is literally the gas of life aka plant food.

@@zedecoit's not either or. CO2 in the amounts we have, is the level plants of today have evolved to work with. many plants will grow slower if you increase CO2 concentrations, and if they go to a certain level it's literally lethal to animals. also food means energy carrier, and CO2 doesn't carry energy.

Well you have to start somewhere. If you nitpick each and every step towards the right direction, there won't any progress at all

So in Norway there is a growing fleet of electric heavy construction equipment, and a policy to electrify domestic flights. And guess what, the operators are finding them cheaper to run.

So what’s your point. With all that oil it would have been much cheaper in the short / medium to stick with ICE

@@neilswanson9622 it is not a surprise that it is cheaper when the government subsidizes everything with oil and gas, is comment is on point, step 1 the most important step.

Exactly

they cant because lithium is hard mineral to work with why they outsource battery production to country like china so you dont see the environmental impact lithium has.

Battery factories are going up all over the world currently. That’s how import tariffs are avoided.

if you left it up to oil barons and car manufactures that rather wouldn't redo their entire manufacturing lines, we'd see no progress.

Tesla batteries have an eight year and 150 mile warranty. Many people charge at home so they don’t have to go to the gas station at all. They pull in the garage plug in their car and get cheap overnight rates. Then unplug their car and drive off.. that takes less than a minute

Norway have a huge Hydroelectricity production, over 90% of their total consumption.
