I just returned from the land of my ancestors, and was very impressed by the way they do things over there. Electric cars are everywhere! Even saw multiple tesla model s taxicabs!
My relatives tell me it's because cars are taxed heavily over there and electric cars pay way less or no taxes, plus they get better parking and carpool lane privileges. Also, all over town there are parking spots with a plug provided. No evse, you need to have your own. I guess the average Norwegian electric car driver can be trusted to plug in an unplug the car properly to avoid arcs an sparks and shocks. They dont trust us to do that here. Have to always have a proper evse or nothing at all. I'd love to see l6-30 oulets provided all over so I can charge my car away from home. Who needs a 5000 dollar public evse?
