In spring I drove 500 km in Norway between Oslo and Bergen in a leased eGolf from 2016. The whole trip took 9 hours versus 7.5 hours in an ICE car. The extra time is just time at quick charging stations that I had to use 4 times. The trip is over mountains with over 1Km up and that kills the battery much quicker than the promised 200km of range. On a more flatter terrain around Oslo the car could go around 150km. This is more than enough for any kind of shopping. The newer eGolf almost doubles the range making it absolutely non-issue if one gets car today. The real reason is why electrical car has not been popular with less wealthy people is that cars in Norway are heavily taxed making one a heavy investment that one sticks to and people here are rather conservative. But attitude is changing.
