I'm saying it's a much smaller geographic area, and the Norwegians tend to drive shorter distances, hence EVs make more sense in the short term. It's also easier to build a meaningful charging infrastructure for such a relatively small area than it is something the size of the US.
Can I use an EV and drive it for my extended commute? Yes.
Could I drive an EV across the US if I wanted to? Yes.
Could I drive an EV across the US the way I want to? No.
I regularly take day trips or weekend trips that exceed the range of even the best EVs. I don't believe I'm unique in that in the US. That is probably not nearly as likely for a Norwegian.
As I've said, I see the writing on the wall, and I'm good with it. It's just not something that is anywhere close to practical in the US in the next 4 years (blocking the sale of new ICE vehicles). It is very much so in Norway.
