This EV adoption rate is based on government policy that makes electric cars cheaper than gas powered cars. It is not based on the fundamental economics of gas vs electric. Take the government's hand off the scale and the balance would switch right back to gas cars.

Yes, because even if there was limited demand in Norway the car can be sold to the rest of the EU which will still be happily using gasoline cars.
