Our Norwegian neighbours had a rush for EVs for some years now, because it is very cheap to "reload" them (I think there are free stations in some cities), you have free parking and you are allowed to use some special lanes in the cities, like buslanes and so on. This resulted in a chaos because the public transportation was stuck in traffic jams caused by too many EVs.
I think Tesla lead the stats on sold cars for some time in Norway?!
