Also the reason why the government is also slowly phasing out incentives to the electric cars.
They're not phasing out the #1 incentive to buy electric cars: Insanely high gasoline prices (nor should they). So I'm not seeing a regression in the making here.

Volkswagen has majorly invested in EVs. One important model Volkswagen has made is the ID.3 . Similar in size to the golf / rabbit. This is an attainable car I'm interested in buying.
I'm in the UK, I suspect my first electric car (in a couple of years) will be the new Škoda based on the same platform as the ID.3: https://www.skoda.co.uk/electric-hybrid-cars/enyaq-iv

Electric cars are exempt from these taxes which is why they are so attractive in Norway for customers. Electric cars are also exempt from road fees.

There are much better ways to reduce CO2 emissions than taxing the consumer. Norway could simply stop pumping as much oil from the ground/sea.
Electric cars still result in Phoenix, AZ. What we need is Amsterdam.
In Norway it’s dark and cold as shit half the year and no flat parts of the towns; Amsterdam is flat and always pleasant or rainy
BTW, as of late Tesla isn't at all the big leader over there: https://eu-evs.com/marketShare
It seems like Volkswagen is making some real inroads in the EV market based on that data. Is this correct? What has fueled it—is there a particular model?
