Comments on: Electric Cars in Norway /electric-cars/ All Things Norway, In English Thu, 13 Mar 2025 13:03:25 +0000 hourly 1 By: Patrick Cohan /electric-cars/#comment-1027331 Thu, 13 Mar 2025 13:03:25 +0000 /?p=9703#comment-1027331 With only an 8% participation rate in the rural areas, and an ever-increasing demand for more charging stations, not to mention the inability to generate enough electricity in the near future, how do they propose to address that matter? There is a significant opposition to building more onshore wind farms, and a greater opposition to offshore power generation due to how expensive that is. The idea of zero-emissions sounds grand, but at some point, the reality of the energy needed to mine and refine the raw materials (along with the manufacturing process) is going to set in and become an issue that must be addressed. Additionally, the resources necessary to process the recycled batteries will become an even greater problem. Three years ago, the industry and its promoters were praising companies like Northvolt … Fast-forward to March of 2025, they are going out of business. Similar companies do not have positive outlook either.
I understand that the purpose of this site is to “promote” Norway. The concerns mentioned in this post will come to the forefront and demand solutions whether we like it or not.
