But that's a really complicated and ugly tangent to follow.
True but the average person only cares about how much money comes directly out of their pocket.

Gas cars in Norway are charged a 25% VAT, EVs are charged 0%.

An e-Golf in Norway is $3100 less expensive than a base model gas Golf. In the USA the e-Golf is $8650 more than a base model gas Golf.
