or or emphasizing the award winning offer is available worldwide. every language level. reading gem and has to go the if you look up, even though 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 the power dice? and what does these things pop legends have to do with? it's the

already these really, the o'neill sits all problems. we argue that the buying the electric vehicle. that's the most important thing for the crime as of yet. there are too many of these but maybe there's most of this electric utopia then meets the eye as well to understand new ways a b obsession. we 1st got to rewind to the 1918 believe it or not, no ways loves to 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 hawk, it brought a similar costs in no way 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 empower that many times. i'm put up for auction at

which point the band would buy it back and repeat that performance. they was fed 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 country d 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 the way into the land of the e. v and into a country even on musk themselves. the today no ways e b statistics of bomb cuz study shows it is accounted for 82.4 percent of no ways

. you passenger cost sales in 2023. and that's not including plug in hybrids. and in 2020 for those. because if 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, you might be able to reach a climate goal, which is a very good feeling. she's referring to know 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 foot motor on that lights. 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, it started the 4th with the fast pizza. around is the editor in chief of no region comm, i guessing my time the 1st cars have been the breakdowns and the cars know because a lot of the about the brands, 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 position in people's thinking about the both of the brands. 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 that smell. 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 cars over $23000.00 units sold around 3 and a half times as many as it's nearest wrongful. the volkswagen id full, which isn't to say that no way doesn't have any issues with the tests. it's thrown it support behind its neighbors. sweet 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 they gain the front, the ease of gain, such rapid popularity and the cold. vast nordic non scape has put to rest fee is about the batteries not doing well in sub 0 times about range anxiety. the 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 visa 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 a law called the climate law. this is rock nodes says 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 1000 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 by d e v. for example, when to exactly the most popular cause in the country, that historically has no driving the get out

of the country that's produced. some pretty phenomenal drive is night, pets are sold back for the electric mobility isn't a pulse, is an issue in no way. the specific goal of having all new sales of vehicles entering 25 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 especially kept the policies in place for a long time. and it's partly due to different political parties agreeing to at least a certain extent, the green, 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, including 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 time. there will be no fun 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 happen. 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 while policies remains relatively unchanged, the number of e, b, 's available, change down the rate of ab adoption rows sharply. and if you look at each of these and the rate is actually proof of just one thing. and that is, public data works the display, no ways the, 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 challenging that what was the able to support the number of these 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 for the semesters, it's a month to reducing the drastic 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 complete the wean itself. of the com. i think you're pretty to lose a 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 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 sector when we talked about the 2025 go, we're very close to reaching it for passenger cars. but for light duty vehicles we not so well. we don't perfect. what is the way to go that or um, well,

the energy going into no waste. these is green, mainly hydro and wins. there 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 country. we export our last 2 years. i think the an important matter to have an interest 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 distorted for incense for 12. other things increased focusing on changing the energy assistance from profiles to renewals. and as that happens, all the demands for so he's selling gas 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. it seems, well, there are lessons to be and i will tell you more countries within like your, when 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 but the funding, green energy and the fed, the small population is always going to be tricky. this is nothing about the licensing are different from other people. this is about the reasons 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, weak goes more. 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 well underway. another ga. gov. well, in this one, but we have got to wait to the young people in particular like doctors do best in on already making the shift. it makes sense economically to claim within just absolution. flemetcher, there's an amount of money on a daily use bundle, right? so image seems to be a huge role in their pollution and climate change thing, which is why the government is promoting electric. right? goes, i decided to buy and even to save money and also so that i could do my best switch

to the mobility is also an opportunity for the city stop. it's like fulfilling it's electric to be low is deliver goods from online retailers. the company says it's a paid benefit to ration the new york public people. the public was noticed several benefits for the low maintenance cost . 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 is known as india, silicon valley. despite it's $56.00 depredation, it has the same levels of noise and an felicia as an old industrial city. one company has recently converted it's and dial lead to electric, weakness drivers like this, and not very impressed. you look to have a goods are easy to drive. there are no gears or plots him what we get to be in an extra letter. so they are much nice at the drive and traffic. we had to 31 and put

them the capital of get it up, kill provision as part of these have drive to get a handle on air pollution by deafening images, regulations. updating the diesel engines of that rate goes to the 5th and you know, which have been very expensive for district shop with usa. so instead, the bid a brand new me 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 as i pulled it up for me the 1st time and find out what i mean this evening. and uh, and so the only refund from the, from this the company company with the government getting those government grants. bio is a subsidy of up 220002 be around $350.00 units on ebay. which easy. plus those tax exemption for 5 years,

but quick exceed the take up. it's still far too low. and the, the for the last number claimant didn't mean to get on. if we want to mitigate climate change is that we have to stop using fossil fuels. you will have given me, i need to get to go to the scientists and research. usually 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 the the we are currently moving ad on them. and that means leaving mess up fees to email you at the moment. ok mama with the energy plan 6. and i'll talk about georgi infrastructure is still insufficient. underscore the electricity use to josh electric vehicles must come from renewables . that's the only way they can be truly sustain it. but 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 sense, 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 of all fires. according to exports like dick's, i was the number of fires, and e cars is much more come or 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 bumped into fire, and the other ones might have a pre damage but has not been burned. and so the energy is still in as maybe if you start moving the car or it's some water spills on some critical electrical barge or whatever. you may have reaction some work later. according to a us insurance service provider, there have been only 25 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 wilted victim young 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 and connected 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 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 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 support 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 terminal to bonds with stretches 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 an average range for decrease by 40 percent due to cold temperatures, antiques, actually, most of the driving of electric cars has in c t where the electric cars are performing much better. so the that to hours, these different 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. giving 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 batteries and electric vehicles due to their limited presence over time. 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 v comes themselves. it indicates that batteries replacements are relatively rare, with just over $200.00 batteries. out of 15000 easy 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 the almost all easy batteries the manufacturer are still in use. and this on 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 combustion engine carts, the life span of an e car battery is much longer. according to the american automobile association, batteries of a combustion engine, the 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 the 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 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 electric 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. maybe our 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 has been raising awareness for it as well. but not 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 to. ready so we know that in these 20 percent of coal that subtracted in our t z minds, there is a huge problem of children working in these mines. car companies are researching alternatives for cobalt to produce bachelors and some have announced the only use ethically, mind coal both. for example, german card manufacturer bmw has said it's owned by the component directly from australia and morocco. however, a report by the i pcc 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

the 10 years you just fed up mismanagement, no jobs are few prospect. thomas jim z view, the protests and us tire. why? the mind types to be met with such brutality conditions. owners come in and i just make it a mobile many people i think this has, has died in the beginning, the 77 percent in 30 minutes on d. w. at some point you have to go far in order to understand what city are. and

i'm trying to embark, everybody, you included on that journey. photographer alan b takes us on a journey through the cars. i see here the read of hotspot of west africa in our series are see africa out unveiled in 90 minutes on d w. the visa used on a couple days even though not just another day so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in the look at the
