The average Norwegian drives about 21 miles a day, or 7,600 miles a year. That's less than half the US average, and only about 21% of what I drive per year. |
I'm missing your point about the size of Norway. If the article was about Colorado in stead of Norway then would it be different to you because it would be just as significant to me?
Doubling that to 50 miles a day isn't prohibitive for someone getting an EV, and are you saying no one drives far in Norway to commute? If someone had a level 2 charger at home then they could drive hundreds of miles a day. If they had a level 2 charger at work too then they could travel even further. If all someone had was a level 2 home charger on a Model 3 standard range plus at 263 miles of range, and they depleted the battery, then it would take 8.76 hours to fully charge the car. If someone owned the long range at 353 miles and had a 60 amp wall charger then they could charge the car in just 8 hours. We have chargers at work in our parking structure, so anyone commuting far to work has 8-12 hours to charge there.
