This seems bizarrely negative in its framing even though most of the facts mentioned are world leading success stories. > Norway’s incentives have unquestionably reshaped the country’s car market and reduced carbon emissions. EVs’ share of new vehicle sales surged from 1 percent in 2014 to 83 percent today. Around one in four cars on Norwegian roads is now electric, and the country’s surface transportation emissions fell 8.3 percent between 2014 and 2023. > Everyone agrees that 100 percent of cars should be electric. That’s not the question,” > Oslo’s elimination of street parking and creation of pedestrian-only streets, for instance, nudge Norwegians away from driving, but they also diminish EVs’ usefulness. Isn't that the point? I struggle to parse this last paragraph because it seems so obvious yet in context has a tone that suggests it's a gotcha or contradiction? The Norwegian government wasn't trying to get people into EVs as an end in itself, they were trying to clean up the local and wider environment, which well designed cities also achieves?
