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.

I think he's saying it's apples and oranges because no one in norway is taking a 3000 mile road trip across the country for fun. I've driven from maine to miami and from maryland to california and back. I can't imagine how many days would have been added to my trip to make it happen. Granted, I know the Tesla would tell me exactly which super charger to drive to and for how long i'd need to be there but I can't imagine making my 41 hours trip from palm springs to annapolis again with electric cars where they're at. Not quite. We're almost there though.
