That said, Norway is pretty-ethnically homogeneous country with a strong national identity and a population just below Wisconsin. I don't really think the political lessons from Norway are necessarily applicable at large.


There will be lessons. Off the top of my head:

- Relation of EV miles driven to air pollution and related health impacts

- The effect of increased EV penetration on fossil fuel infrastructure economics. For example, at what EV penetration do gas stations start to close?

- Challenges for the grid of charging large numbers of EVs

These lessons won't be universal because Norway is not like the rest of the world but they do provide useful information for later adopters. If I owned a chain of gas stations in the US, I'd be very curious about the fate of gas stations in Norway.


Might be applicable to Wisconsin and other similarly sized states.
