The perspective is fun, buying a new car in Denmark is a big investment, for many people it's around what they make in a year after taxes, and even then it's a relatively small car. I'm not saying electric is the golden bullet people want it to be, far from it as of right now, but we need to change something in order to have a chance of saving ourselves from destroying the planet. Perhaps a higher fuel cost will incentivice smaller cars, and thus better milage, for our American friends?
