If not strange, it is a leading question, even in the case of Norway. Reminds me of some not so bright activists proclaiming that dried-out trees are better for the environment because they use less water. To move away from analogy, my qualms are about time-scales, and the other side of the equation of electrification of transportation, ie. the waste (from production and from end-of-life battery) + El. energy generation. The EVs el. demands does (or in the near future will) fully outstrips in most european countries low-carbon supply. With these considerations it can easily be a much more degrading for the environment relative to CVs. The entire EV movement has several characteristic of childish whimsical enthusiasm, where one aspect is highlighted in exuberant expectations but real world realities are (in cases of children excusable) ignored, or even willfully denied. This is said not to shoot down the clearly well meant idea of moving away from intense-co2 transportation. However, ideological revolutions which are centered at ignoring the realities of effective material production tend to produce waste (which is mostly due to inefficiency and waste production as they are subsided to do so pursuing other ideological goals ). Just wishing the journalism was more balanced with a perspective in mind, rather than just being "right-propaganda" fodder pushed on people.
