Good morning. I brought up the EU to illustrate that people who live in Norway commute or travel to neighbouring countries routinely with both their EV's and ICE vehicles. But, part of this is because of the infrastructure available to them. We are experienced European travellers, speak multiple languages and have the opportunity to speak with EV'ers in Europe...although not so much in Nowray. And yes, there are a ton of ICE vehicles still on the road in Norway but of course this only makes sense as EV's are not the panacea to every driving need...or at least not in their present form. The future will bring changes of course.

I suggest googling the EU. Norway is not a member

Also given the size and location of population centers of Norway, I doubt you are seeing many people commute to other countries. As an example, Oslo to the nearest boarder is about 45miles. Assuming they are commuting to jobs in major cities, it's at least another 50 miles from the border.

The whole idea that people are using EV's to commute to other countries from Norway doesn't hold up to even modest inspection.

Yes I am aware of Norways status in the European community and marketplace and the Schengen agreement. Commuting 150 KM miles is not fun but not that unusual as well. I am not sure I follow. Agreed that normal commutes are usually shorter...at least for us although I used to do a 400 km weekly commute. That sucked.
