Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

I think there was some massive tax incentive.

Just been reading up on it, make sense;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_electric_vehicles_in_Norway

Among the existing government incentives, all-electric cars are exempt in Norway from all non-recurring vehicle fees, including purchase taxes, which are extremely high for ordinary cars, and 25% VAT on purchase, together making electric car purchase price competitive with conventional cars.[
