of course we say they're about never giving up every weekend on d w. the video lucas? 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 built on fossil fuels to come and eat the power dice? and what does these things pop legends have to do with? it's the

already these really, the o'neill said to all problems. we argue that the buying that i think people that's the most important thing for the crime as of yet suspected of too many ease. but maybe there's more to this electric utopia than meets the eye. well, to understand new ways e v of session, 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 band hall was in switzerland. and so for us to come to the, to being converted to run on an electric power, lead singer motion, hook it brute, a similar call to norway where he began driving. it seemed bus lanes refusing to pay toll parking fees. the arguments, eaves with good for the environments and to be incentivized that call go to impound in many times, i'm put up for auction at which points the bands 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 since pump revolution helped to give way to the countries e. v. revolution the, it's a part of the beginning of the story, definitely, but a lot has happened since then. this is christina, been the secretary general of the norwegian e. b 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 new way into the land of the e. v and into a country in on musk themselves. the today no ways e b statistics of bomb cuz study shows it is accounted for 82.4 percent of new ways

. new passenger cost sales in 2023. and that's not including plug in hybrids. and in 2020 for those because somebody becomes 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 ways. 0 emissions 2025 go. essentially the countries aim is that in 2025 own you call sold will either be by tree 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. but more on that lights, nor waste e v landscape is dominated bytes tests, which in 2023 became the most sold comp and in the country for the surge, yet in

a rush. but it has the story and nobody has to be in it. it started the 4th with the fast pizza around is the editor in chief of no region comm magazine. my to the 1st cars have been the breakdowns and the cars now because a lot of the bad press, but then they got their 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 both of the brands what we've seen though is that there's definitely a situation and especially 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. and we've seen that other car manufacturers and the porters might have had a big board problem with competing with tests in 2023. the model wine was no ways best selling. com with over 23000 units sold around 3 and

a half times as many as it's near restoring volt, the volkswagen id full. which isn't to say that norway doesn't have any issues with the tests. it's thrown it support behind its neighbors sweep way, unions with them on things best of 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 in the midst of things to the front. the bees have gained such rapid popularity and the cold, vast nordic non scape has put to rest fee, is about the back to he's 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 congress is that a toyota is logging in in production of the, of the these,

the moment they authorize on board. uh, which is a big brand set, the biggest brands on their way. it will be these all over. but how the heck did no way do it? for 2060, we haven't go to reducing amazon's by 90 to 95 percent. this is also stated in a law called the climate loss. this is rock notes, is that the state secretary of new ways, climate and environment ministry. and it turns out henry gibson was really the norwegian government didn't just draft 1000 would policies. instead they did things. the early eaves in norway were overlooking machines that reminded you of kermit the frog, the sick city a, b, e b, for example, went exactly the most popular cause in the country. that historically has no drawing thing. hey, fella, get out of the country that's produced. some pretty phenomenal drivers night,

i just sold bag fits the electric mobility isn't a part is an issue in no way. the specific goal of having all new sales of vehicles in 2025 to be serial. mission is the, the goal that has been there all along across different governments. i think part of the success in norway especially kept the policies in place for a long time. and it's partly due to the different political parties agree 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 ex, any moves to encourage the adoption included tax exemption on buying electric cars . and the drivers 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 t arise. we argue that you'd be buying the electric vehicle. that's the most important thing for the car 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 meet the 20250 emissions go hybrids and internal combustion engine costs are discouraged by being price times. there will be no spot on ice cars, even new ice cars in 2025 books. this is the politicians that has decided these goals and they have to use and they are using the mixtures, they have to make it happens. and those semesters is the taxes that we have in your

way. in practically practical terms, it means taxing ice cars or combustion engine. cars out of business was really interesting though, is that no waste, the policy existed long before the technology became viable. so over the last decade or so even well, policies remains relatively and changed. the number of e b, 's available, change down the rate of ab adoption rose sharply. then if you look at each of these in the rate is actually proof of just one thing. and that is, public data works the display, no ways the success story, there are a few concerns that are too many ease 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 the only reason you can go from north to

south and 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 soon as of today today. there's obviously like all the and so called 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 activity 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. it's a much reducing the dressing gross or stating that the gross in traffic should be with public transport, working, or cycling. all the somebody that has sparsely populated country like norway, with great distances between cities,

would ever be able to completely win itself off the comp. i think you're pretty to do the few things that norway can do only with public transport in the whole country. but in the city like also berg and the biggest cities, obviously 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 segments. 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 way to go that or um, well,

the energy going into know ways these is green, mainly hydro and wins that are often a few eyebrows raised over the fact that norway is a significant exposure of fossil fuel. we are in touch with the really noise of nestle, fortunately is based on annoying. there's no worries to go look at no races, especially green concrete, the exports, i guess 2 years after the an important mission 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 and also to best we have to start with some sports. well, other, your things increase focusing on changing the energy assistance from profiles to renewals. and as that happens, so the demand for those no and gas from europe will decrease gray areas aside. the question remains to new ways e be success feedback vacated by the rest of the well to come back time. it seems,

well, there are lessons to be done. i will tell you what country is looking like your what you 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 leasing fee were different from other people. this is about no reason having to buy supercars 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 waste switch at night every day. emerson levels of sky high, things need to change the climate document, climate and putting in

a climate change means we have to ship from combustion engines to electric vehicles . our leaders have promised to gradually reduce watson mules, and to have us call gay to like 2015 or 2017. by which time their countries will have made a complete split for the 1st initial energy source is low and then a lot of money has been invested already. and change is alondo, even though they've got a well in this one. but we haven't got them which connecticut with young people in particular like doctors do best in on already making the shift. it makes sense economically to claim within just i pollution flemetcher. there's an amount of money on a daily was very so image seems to be a huge role in the air pollution and climate change thing, which is why the government is promoting electric. right goes, i decided to buy an easy saving 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 wonderfully it's

electric to be louis deliver goods from online retailers. the company says it's a big benefit to ration the new york public people. the public was notice several benefits for 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. thank you to the capital of canada. got is known as india, silicon valley, despite it's $56.00 equitation. it has the same levels of noise and, and felicia as an old industrial city, one company has recently converted. it's in dial lead to electric, weakness, drivers like percent, not very impressed to evade goods are easy to drive. there are no gears or clouds yet to break in an extra letter. so there are lots nice that to drive and traffic. we had to go through one and put them the capital of get it up.

you provision as part of the zip drive to get a handle on air pollution by deafening images, regulations, updating the diesel engine as of the rate goes to fit the new norm would have been very expensive for district shop with usa. so instead to build a brand new lead, run on electricity, on like a warranty decision and the government and that thing they uh, you know, know that, that will be initiated. and as i pulled it up for us, what is the 1st time and the indices. and i'm slowly re file from the, from the company to company with the support of the government are getting those government grants bios a subsidy of up 220002 be around 300. and what the units on ebay goes with cheesy plus is all tax exemption for 5 years. but critics say the daycare is still far too

low. and the, the for the let and i'm a claimant and i'm going to get on if we want to mitigate climate change is that we have to stop using fossil fuels, either favor that given yanagishta. 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 a but that's not a lot of time. 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 kim, on that one of the plans we sent out, talk about charging infrastructure is still insufficient. underscore the electricity use 2 jobs for electric. beakers 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 aquino 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 facts, 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 batteries exploding and extinguish level fires. according to experts like dick's, i was the number of fires in e cars is much more 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. why do we have night hours after being extinguished?

there's only few of the cells really bumped into fire, and 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 to as builds on some critical electrical parts or whatever. you may have reactions somewhat later, according to a us insurance service provider. there have been only $25.00 fires 410-0000 electric vehicle sales for a year. they less than in combustion cars. another claim surrounding the fires of the car batteries is that the high wilted victim young batteries pose, the risk of electric shock to emergency responders from exposure to the hi will teach components of a damaged lithium ion battery. if you go, for example, to us fire administration, there are a special instructions how to handle fire spending electric cars and wonderfully warnings. it'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 flaring up, but the misinformation surrounding 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 mandatory electric cars, the cars go for like almost 2 hours. what do you get 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 alta bonds restrictions without speed limits of 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 the average range for decreased by 40 percent due to cold temperatures, antique 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 exaggeration. and you can even add a little bit more color to that,

that the best cars, car and the reach are on the market. given you city, 100 miles, 360 miles full 100 miles on the driving range. the 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 baptist put outlast 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 on started is ebby production more than 12 years ago. similarly, tesla states that as 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, the car, the life span of an e car battery is much longer, according to the american auto mobile association batteries of a combustion engine, the car have an average of only 3 to 5 years. with some exceptional cases of older cars, lasting 10 years. batteries are getting better and better, and some of them are claiming much longer ranges, but indeed batteries are very expensive piece of the equipment. and if you are planning to have your car much longer, i don't know 1520 years. well then indeed, you wouldn't need to replace the battery. another common narrative surrounding

claims about the cars is that it is an ethical to buy them. as child labor is behind the production of their batteries. children are involved in the production of electricity, hickle's 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 to the 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 mind. 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

r t 0 means meaning, you know, just people with basic tools digging to get some, some rocks and some tables. so we know that in these 20 percent of coal that subtracted excuse me minds, there is a huge problem of children working in these mines. car companies are researching alternatives for coal, both 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 on 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 risk. the
