I'm specifically referring to the US, but I suppose I'd extend that claim to the world too.

It doesn't surprise me that a wealthy and relatively homogeneous group of people who have been conditioned to relinquish liberty might achieve 50% EV sales at great expense.

Norway's largest industry is fossil fuels, so they have benefited from great natural resource wealth and can better afford to spend money to be "clean". Then there's the fact that Norway is the size of New Mexico, and the width of the country is small enough to cover in a Tesla on 1 charge.

Those conditions don't exist in the US, and won't in the next 10 years.
