Quoting a fragment:

"Electric cars have been especially popular in Norway because of generous subsidies, free parking, government-provided re-charging stations, the right to use express lanes on highways and exemptions from tolls."

or wasn't that fragment there earlier?

Besides: - Norway has the highest taxes anywhere on buying and using gas cars. Horsepower and weight is taxed heavily. - Urban sprawl around the biggest cities has created some of Europe's worst traffic congestions. It's a huge benefit to be able to use the bus lane.

Teslas high market share in Norway is also a symptom of some of the challenges we face here in Norway.

I find the idea of "urban sprawl" in Norway hilarious.... I'm from Oslo, but live in a London suburb that is larger than the "urban sprawl" around Oslo. Norwegians for the most part has no idea what proper congestion looks like.

Yeah, when I visited Oslo we walked at a leisurely stroll from Maridalsvannet just outside the city back to our city centre hostel in a couple of hours (me, my sister and my 60 yo mother). In about the same time in London I can get from the Thames to Tufnell Park, not even close to the North Circular :)

Of course, many of the world's capitals pale in comparison to cities like London or NYC...

Go onto Google Maps and look up Dallas, Texas. I've only driven through it once, but that will stick with me forever.

Nice benefits. At what point in market share does that all get taken away? Surely the whole population cant go on the bus lanes.
