The biggest driver of sales is undoubtedly the tax break: For EVs the VAT (sales tax) of 25 percent is dropped for the first 500k NOK of the car’s price (~50k USD).

Last month, 94.2 percent of all sold (registered) cars were BEVs (so hybrids not included). The top two models were Tesla Model Y and Volvo EX30.

Charging infrastructure is great, and omnipresent. The price of electricity has actually gone up quite a bit the last couple of years, but gas/petrol and diesel is still quite a bit more expensive (think ~8 USD/gallon)

Not in the repo itself. But if you create a Project, and add the issues/PRs from the repo to that project, you can generate a burndown chart.

With the increasing abundance of electric vehicles people are getting used to (k)Wh as the unit for battery size. It would make sense to use the same unit for smaller electronics as well, IMO.

If by obvious question you mean “why is it called a minute,” that is because “minute” means “small.” So you have the first minute (small) part and the second minute part of the hour.

I mean, that’s pretty hard to compete with 😅

In the US, maybe. In Europe there are many restrictions regarding living conditions as well, meaning “organic” is usually the best option if you prioritize animal welfare.

Looks like the sources are different: In the top right of the response you can see the fav icons of the sites the AI used to get info. They are ~~apparently the same three pages, but in a different order~~ different pages, and in the OP it says +5 vs +3 in the other screenshot.

So it looks like they might have dropped a couple of bad sources somewhere along the way. But that doesn’t help those who already got bad answers in the meantime..

The downvotes on this post hahahaha

I mean, the instructions were pretty clear: «Downvote and move on»

Yep, fully battery electric. The silence is glorious!

Yes, they’re modern city buses with heating and air conditioning. Most of the buses are from the Solaris Urbino Electric line, but we also have quite a few from Mercedes, BYD and MAN.

We already have a fully electric bus fleet in my city (Oslo, Norway).

Granted, when we had a period of extreme cold and snow last winter there was a bit of chaos. The electric buses did struggle a bit with range (though we’re talking -20 C), but the main problem was the combination of rear wheel drive and lots of snow.
