Does anyone in Norway drive a minivan?
- dhosek 5y agoNot in Norway, but my wife and I have the Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid (our only car). We average about 1 in 6 miles on gasoline power. With more widely distributed charging infrastructure and a bigger battery we could easily make that 0 in 6. This is living in the suburbs of Chicago.
- dhosek 5y agoI'd add that a not insignificant part of that 1 in 6 is the car choosing to use gasoline power to keep the gas engine operable. It also likes to switch to gas power during the winter when we're running the heater.
- varjag 5y agoOutside of business uses they are not particularly popular.
- Arnt 5y agoGuessing at the intention behind the phrasing… would you buy a minivan if you worried that the resale value might be near zero? Would some minivan model still be your favourite model given that handicap? AIUI there's no expectation that selling a used combustion car will become illegal. But people don't have confidence that they'll get a high price (not even for the export market).
- lastofthemojito 5y agoSure, but they're electric too: https://www.nissan.no/biler/nye-biler/e-nv200-evalia.html https://www.nissan.no/biler/nye-biler/e-nv200-evalia.html
- kwhitefoot 5y agoThe e-nv200 is mostly used as a van for electricians, plumbers, etc. Not many of them are fitted out for passengers, probably because the range is rubbish.
- bagacrap 5y agoNorway is mostly wagons and hatches.
