They are rich and therefore in a position to be 'morally superior' :)
They have some pretty aggressive plans on electric cars, and they're very wealthy (ironically from oil...) consumers can buy them, and buy them at a high rate.
The Scandinavian countries will probably be first to 'no combustion' cars, my #1 bet is Norway, #2 Sweden, #3 Denmark. #4 Netherlands. After that, who knows. Maybe Hong Kong or Singapore i.e. where it's 'small, rich and the economics work'.

- sonnyblarney 8y agoNorwegians are per capita significantly richer than Americans. GDP per capita is a lot higher, and they have a sovereign wealth fund that owns almost 2% of all public stocks in the entire world. So 'America is rich' and Americans on average have quite a lot of cash, but overall, not so much as they will flip to electric at a $40K price tag. The Norwegians will flip to 100% electric soon. Also for social/political reasons as well though. Kuwaitis are rich but they're not going electric anytime soon.
