BTW everyone is fond of Norway while having zero idea how it's actually over there.
Consider this movie
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Order_of_Disappearance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Order_of_Disappearance
The protagonist plows snow for a living, using 200-300 bhp diesel truck for like half a year each year, day after day. This thing just can not be replaced with an electric no matter what you try. And without it there would be zero traffic, electric or no.
It often looks like people here mostly do not comprehend what snowfall is.
- Dylan16807 2y agoFirst off, who are you talking to? I didn't see anyone suggest replacing every truck in the world with electric. Second, that's not a particularly large number for horsepower. Please explain why you think it can't be electric. Note that charging time can be solved by having a bigger fleet, and while that is expensive it's well within the range of "no matter what you try".

I also saw a person in Norway commenting about their high uptake of EVs noting that at the end of the day the snow piles in the city are noticeably cleaner than they used to be when ICE engines were more common.
- kelnos 2y agoThere will always be corner cases. That doesn't mean we shouldn't make the common case better. Not really sure what your comment has to do with the article, though. Seems like you're just here to complain about EV advocacy?
