Isn't most of norway's population concentrated in the southernmost part, around oslo? I would guess that electric car ownership is even more disproportionately concentrated there too.
Checking wikipedia quickly it looks like oslo and chicago have similar winter temperatures, so chicago's cold snap would be an outlier for most norwegians too.
- piva00 3y agoIt's concentrated in the south, yes, but people in Trondheim, Tromsø, Narvik, etc. also have EVs, they are everywhere in the country.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoOK, I probably should have left that part out then because at a quick look it seems like they still have comparable winter temps to chicago, and chicago's recent weather would be extreme in those places as well. Norway has much milder weather than I had assumed!
- piva00 3y ago> Norway has much milder weather than I had assumed! Due to Earth's rotation affecting winds the western coasts of continents usually have much milder climate than the eastern coasts, most of Scandinavia has much milder climates than the same latitude on eastern North America. Except for the northern parts of Fenno-Scandia most places here have a quite mild temperature range during winter (I'd guess the southern 70% of Fenno-Scandia will vary between -15C to 0C throughout winter).
