to june, more thoughts? now when the story inform, migrate, reliable needs to migrate wherever they may be. the if you look up easy, no, it is actually just one thing that is probably worth the did you know that norway still is way more electric cars per capita? than the us, norway. well buddy isn't kidding, but how did a nation build some fossil fuels to come and eat the power dice? and what did these things pop legend have to do with it's the

already these really, the o'neill said to all problems we argue that to use the buying the electric vehicle. that's the most important thing for the crime. as of yet suspected of too many of these but maybe there's more to this electric utopia than meets the eye. well, to understand new ways, the obsession we 1st got to rewind to the 1918. believe it or not, no ways not for ease goes way back to the late eighty's when since pope plant aha was in switzerland and so for us to come to the to being converted to run on it. electric power lead singer motion, hook it brute. a similar call to norway where he began driving its invest names refusing to pay toll parking fees. the arguments eaves with good for the environments and to be incentivized that call go to him, pounded many times and put up for auction. at which point the band would buy it

back and repeat that performance. they was sped on by environmental. this is frederick conk and how old and rustic the antics has the desired effect on the fence pop revenue sion helped to give way to the country's e. v revelation the it's a part of the beginning of the story, destiny, etc. but a lot has happened since then. this is christina, been the secretary general of the norwegian e v association. a non profit founded in 1995 that helped advocate for easy adoption shape policy and liaison between the government. i'm bias possibly a little more influential than uh huh. in transforming no way into the land of the e. v and into a country eat on musk low today no way is to to sticks of funk cuz study shows at ease accounted for 82.4 percent

of no ways you passenger costs sales in 2023. and that's not including plug in hybrids. and in 2024 those because of i need become stronger. we aren't above 92 percent because to stronger policies implemented in last year's budget. so the budget for this year and the yeah. for the 1st time in history, we might be able to reach a climate goal, which is a very good feeling. she's referring to no way 0 emissions 2025 go. essentially the countries aim is that in 2025 own you call sold will either be factory electric vehicles or fuel cell electric vehicles. in other words, they're aiming for no new internal combustion engine calls to be sold in 2025 foot motor on that lights up. norway e v. landscape is dominated bytes tests, which in 2023 became the most sold call brand in the country for the 3rd year in

a row. because the story and nobody has to be in, it started the 4th through the fast pizza. around is the editor in chief of no region comm magazine. my time the, the 1st cars have the lot, the breakdowns and the cars now because a lot of the back bras, but then they both act together and then they have really stepped up so, so they are, they are a today have a good, strong positioned in people's thinking about the brand what we've seen though is that there's definitely a situation and especially in the last year or so where, where tesla has increase their market share when it comes to how many cars they sell. and it was january a year ago where they increase the price is quite a lot to and we've seen that other car manufacturers and importers might have had a big board problem. we're competing with tests in 2023. the model wine was no ways best selling cars over 23000 units sold around 3 and

a half times. as many as it's near is trying hold the volkswagen id for which isn't to say that no way doesn't have any issues with the tests. it's from the support behind its neighbors sweep way, unions, the demanding special wages and working conditions. and it also helps look the impulsive test as into sweden. but this hasn't affected the number of testers in no way. in fact, even as americans struggled with their own product, the norwegians have been steadily e, the midst of things they gain. the fact, the ease of gaining such rapid popularity in the cold, vast notate landscape, has put to rest fee is about the batteries not doing well in sub 0 times about range anxiety. these are rapidly closing in on 100 percent market share in no way. the only reason it's not 100 is the toyota is logging in in production of the,

of the these, the moment they authorize on board. uh, which is a big brand site, the biggest brands in their way. it will be these all over. but how the heck did no way do it for 2060 and we haven't goal of reducing arms is by 90 to 95 percent. this is also stated in the law to the climate law. this is rock nodes this, that the state secretary of new ways, climates and environment ministry. and it turns out henry gibson was really the norwegian government didn't just draft thousands what policies instead they did things. the early ease in norway will ult looking machines that reminded you of kermit the frog the sink city. but the, for example, went exactly the most popular cause in the country. that historically has no drawing thing fella get out of the country that's produced. some

pretty phenomenal drive is nice to sol bag fits the electric mobility isn't a pulse. is an issue in no way the specific goal of having all new sales of vehicles in 2025 to be 0 emission. is the the goal that has been there all along across different governments. i think part of the success in norway expected kept the policies in place for a long time. and it's partly due to the different political parties agreeing to at least a certain extent degree, but also agreement across to sort of civil society sector. even if governments have come and gone, no ways, health costs on its climate goals and the policies that go hand in hand with the ex $30.00 moves to encourage the adoption, including tax exemption on buying electric cars. and a b drive is didn't need to pay total parking fees. cool for the use of fairies when crossing no waste famous fields. but some of these measures have since been

rolled back to ensure the policies don't just benefit the rich. so tax exemptions still exist for ease cheaper than $45000.00 to rise. we argue that you'd be buying the electric vehicle. that's the most important thing for the kind with them. yes sir. so it's not necessary to have a really expensive electric vehicle. just the function of a one, a reasonable price, and as a be used as encouraged to help make the 20250 emissions go hybrids and internal combustion engine costs are discouraged by being price time. there will be no spot on ice cars, even new ice cars in 2025 books. and it's the politicians that has decided this goal and they have to use and they are using the mixtures. they have to make it happen. and those semesters is the text is the that we have in your way

. in practically practical terms, it means taxing ice cards or combustion engine. cars out of business was really interesting though, is that no waste, easy policy existed long before the technology became viable. so over the last decade or so, even well, policies remains relatively unchanged. the number of e, b, 's available, change down the rate of ab adoption rows sharply. then if you look at each of these in the rate, is actually proof of just one thing. and that is, public works fine, no ways the success story, there are a few concerns that are too many easy with the race to meet the 0 emissions go does concern the charging that what was the able to support the number of eighty's the country is expect tv and professor is not good. let's do. they'll load,

he is you can go from north to south in no way within the v is because of the tesla . we don't have an interest tester today that can handle 5 times as many cars as students as to do today. there's always the lock off and so call normal charging for ac, charging for people to use on a weekly basis when they exit or just park in the street. so that's probably one of the challenges going forward time. there's a worry that incentives to buy a these are acting as a deterrence to people using public transport, something the government is actively trying to remedy. so we have urban growth deal . that is an agreement between the local authorities and the governments in the big cities, making sure that we have photos and measures to a meant to reducing the dressing gross or stating that the gross in traffic should be with public transport, working or cycling all day. somebody that has sparsely populated country like norway, with great distances between cities,

would ever be able to completely win itself off the com. i think you're pretty to do the few things that norway can do only woodcock trial spot in the whole country . but in the city like also berg and the biggest cities always say it's a very major push to, to have public transport and have people, bike and, and fox. but even the world's e v capital has a long way to go to fully electrify its transport. the remaining part now to make it successful for all segment, also the heavy duty vehicles just to make sure that we have charging stations or heavy duty vehicles. so that's the next step in electrifying that. no, we didn't transport subject when we talked about the 2025 go, we're very close to reaching it for passenger cars. but for light duty vehicles we know so well, we don't perfect. what is the ways to go there?

um, well, the energy going into know ways these is green mainly hydro and wins that we're offering a few eyebrows raised over the fact that norway is a significant exposure of fossil fuel. we are in touch with the green light of nestle, fortunately is based on roy, there's the worst of or look at noises, especially green concrete, the exports, i guess 2 years after the, an important matter to have and then just security in this confidence when it comes to transports, there is also an aspect to remember that electricity is more energy efficient then also to best we have distorted, went from 4 to 12 other you're thinking, pres, focusing on changing the energy assistance from above to renewals. and as that happened so far, oh so, you know, i guess from europe really increase gray areas aside. the question remains to new ways a, be success, be replicated by the rest of the well to come back time at

a see, well, there are lessons to be and i will send more countries. would you like your way to do strong policies? you can buy a new car today as part of the tiers. it's ridiculous. but replicating the methods used by which country with abundant green energy and the fairly small population is always going to be tricky. this is left about the recent being very different from other people. this is about the reason i'm having to talk with you and to buy super cars, to being electric because of the tax and system. and that's really the main site, the, the noise is exhausting more than 6000000 motorbike because horse the weight switch at night every day. emerson levels of sky high things need to change the climate document. climate change aspect of a thing in

a climate change means we have to ship from combustion engines to electric vehicles . more leaders have promised to gradually reduce watson mules and to have us better now gay to like 2015 or 2017. by which time their countries will have made a complete split for the to assess the level energy source is low and then a lot of money has been invested already. and change is alondo. wait another got a well in this one, but we have another way to connect. young people in particular like doctors do best in on already making the shift. it makes sense economically too much. i just, i pollution flemetcher. there's an amount of money on a daily was very the image seems to be a huge role in dia, pollution, and climate change thing, which is why the government is promoting electric. right? goes, i decided to buy and even save money and also so that i could do my big switch to be mobility is also an opportunity for the city stop. it's like really it's

electric. do we lose deliver goods from online retailers? the company says it's a big benefit to ration the new york public people. the public was noticed several benefits, the low maintenance costs, avoiding rising fuel costs, fuel and less pollution. ok. so in the cost, people can save a lot of money by going electric included, the capital of canada got is known as india, silicon valley. despite it's 56 depredation. it has the same levels of noise and an felicia as noise. industrial city. one company has recently converted it's and dial lead to electric, weakness drivers like percent not very impressed. you look to have a goods are easy to drive. there are no gears or plots here. i'm going to be just to break in an extra letter. so they are much nice at the drive and traffic. we had

to do one and put them the capital of get it up. you provision authorities have drive to get a handle on air pollution by deafening images, regulations, updating the diesel engine as of that rate goes to the 5th. and you know, would have been very expensive for this accepted usa. so instead to build a brand new lease, run on electricity, on like a warranty decision. uh, the government at that time, they uh, you know, know that, that will be initiated and order enough for us. what is the 1st time and find out what i mean. this evening and uh, and so the only refund from the, from the company to company with the vendor are getting those government grants. bio is a subsidy of up 220002 be around $350.00 units on ebay crews with cheesy plus those tax exemption for 5 years. but critics say the take up is still far too low.

and the, the party let and i'm a claimant didn't mean to get on if we want to mitigate climate change is that we have to stop using fossil fuels, either favor they've given me, i need to know, i'm going to go to the scientists and research ultimately we have just 70 is go, reduce emissions by 50 percent. we get the ability to download it and have a 1000000 and that's not a lot of pain and we have to double that late. we are currently moving ad on them and that means leaving mess up fees to email you at the moment came on that way and as you can switch them out, talk about charging infrastructure is still insufficient. and of course, the electricity use to josh electric vehicles must come from renewables. that's the only way they can be truly sustainable. nonetheless, these initiatives in southern india are making a small but important contribution towards a clean of future. these

images made headlines worldwide. in july, this burning cargo ship was carrying nearly 500 electric and more than 3000 other vehicles off the dutch coast. many feared it would create environmental have ok if it's fact. especially because of the electric vehicles on board was the fear justified. easy battery fires are difficult to control misleading. since the cars have been on the market, they have been making headlines about the dangers of bachelors exploding and extinguish of all fires. according to exports, like dix, i was the number of fires, and e cars is much more compare to conventional combustion engine cars. but if they catch fire, they are hotter and it takes more water to put the fire out. and many also fear the fires my do we have night hours after being extinguished?

there's only few of the cells really bent into fire. then the other ones might have a pre damage but has not been burned. and so the energy is still in, and maybe if you start moving the car or it's some want us bills on some critical electrical parts or whatever. you may have reaction somewhat later according to a us insurance service provider. there have been only $25.00 fires 410-0000 electric vehicles sales for a year. they less than and combustion cars. another claim surrounding the fires of the car. batteries is that the high will touch this m e and batteries poses the risk of electric shock to emergency responders from exposure to the high will to, to components of a damaged lithium ion battery. if you go, for example, to us fire administration, there are special instructions, how to handle fire spending electric cars and one of the warnings that's exactly that. so high temperatures possibility. so for electric shock because the battery

keeps running. and also another thing because of the high temperature, if you're trying to apply water on the electric car, in some cases, it might end up a flyer in flowery now, but the misinformation surrounding inc. cars is not only about the dangers they may cause many also claim. they're not worth the investment as you can only drive short votes with them. they want to mandatory electric cars. the cars go for like 2 of 2 hours. what are you going to do? everyone is going to be sitting on the highway. we're all going to be looking for a little plug in this claim by former us president donald trump left many surprised because it was an ever up to you turn from his previous to port of new cars. but is it true? electric cars can't drive for more than 2 hours, misleading? typically, a bad face efficiency is measured in terms of distance covered. not the time elapsed according to a cheap cheap by the electric vehicle database electric vehicles can typically

travel an average of approximately 350 kilometers on a single charge, depending on their make and capacity. if we adopt this benchmark, a simple google search reveals that covering such a distance would require nearly 4 and a half hours in the us. on german, out of bonds restrictions without speed limits a bound one could even travel 350 kilometers in slightly over 3 and a half hours. however, according to a study by the american automobile association, driving conditions including hot and cold weather, also affect the range of an easy. for instance, researchers found that's the average range for decrease by 40 percent, due to full temperatures and cheat. actually, most of the driving of electric cars has in c t where the electric cars are performing much better. so the that to our seats. definitely the exaggeration. and you can even add a little bit more color to that, that the best cars,

car and to the reach are on the market. given you city, 100 miles, 360 miles full 100 miles on the driving range. but people are not only worried about the efficacy of new cars, but also about their sustainability. easy batteries have a short life span faults. it is difficult to determine the exact live spend on vaccines and electric vehicles due to their limited presence overtime. nearly one 3rd of all electric vehicles hit the rose just last year. however, a recent study suggests that the batteries put out last the vehicles themselves. it indicates that batteries replacements are relatively rare, with just over $200.00 batteries. out of 15000, the owners needing replacement, according to most of the manufacturers backs these come with a variety of 8 years, or 160000 kilometers japanese car maker. nissan recently claimed that almost all

the batteries the manufacturer are still in use. and this one started as a be production more than 12 years ago. similarly, tesla states that it's vehicles in the us typically drive an average of 320000 kilometers and nearly 250000 kilometers in europe before being retired. compared to a combustion engine car, the life span of an e car battery is much longer. according to the american auto mobile association, factories of a combustion engine, a car have an average of only 3 to 5 years. but some exceptional cases of older cars, lasting 10 years. but the reason i'm getting better and better, and some of them are claiming much longer ranges, but indeed battery is very expensive piece of the equipment. and if you are planning to cast your car much longer, i don't know 1520 years. well then indeed, you would need to replace the battery. another common narrative surrounding claims

about in the cars is that it is an ethical to buy them as child labor is behind the production of their batteries. the children are involved in the production of electricity vehicles, show a series of social media posts, as well as human rights activists. claim that children are involved in the production of electric vehicles. these claims mentioned the cobalt mining operations in the democratic republic of congo. cobalt is one of the essential elements needed in producing lithium batteries. these batteries are used in electric vehicles, but not just their cobalt as also needed for producing batteries for smartphones and computers. media research shows children have been involved in coal, both mining in the d. r c's mines. this fact has been covered by mainstream media on numerous occasions and child's rights activists have been raising awareness for it as well. about 20 percent of the cold is extracted through our

seasonal means, meaning, you know, just people with basic tools digging to get some, some rocks and some examples. so we know that in these 20 percent of coal that subtracted in archie's me minds, there is a huge problem of children working in these mines. car companies are researching alternatives for cobalt to produce batteries. and some have announced the only use ethically, mind coal, both, for example, german car manufacturer, bmw, has said it's owned by the component directly from australia and morocco. however, a report by the i p. c. c. notes concerns about the widespread adoption of battery technologies, including the growing concerns about resource availability, labor rights, non climate environmental impacts and costs of critical minerals needed for lithium, e and batteries. despite their search and popularity electric cars constituting

less than 15 percent of the global market share, never the less experts remain convinced that these vehicles we present the future of transportation and more automotive tales. next time on rev the
