Jealousy, fireworks and how Norway became an EV success

Latest news from the billion-million-trillion-dollar world of EV. The Fast Charge #2

Hello and welcome back to The Fast Charge, a newsletter that will plug you into the latest in electric motoring. My name is Tom Riley and I’ll be your host.

Writing today’s email felt a bit like doing accountancy. Lots of imposing numbers many of which I couldn’t always get my head around. A million this, a billion that. Electric motoring does seem to be the hot ticket for anyone with two coins spare right now. And nobody knows that better than Elon Musk, who yesterday became the world’s richest person.

Elsewhere in today’s edition, I decided to do some research into the recent success that Norway has had introducing pure electric cars - sales now outstrip every other type of car. It’s a herculean achievement which I think we can learn from in more ways than just ‘tax cuts work’.
