In my town, there are mostly electric vehicles nowadays. I was out walking along a larger road in my neighborhood when I noticed a bus and two cars passing each other, and it suddenly hit me that earlier in my life, that would have been a very noisy affair, but it wasn't. I also realized how much the world used to smell like gas. And does anyone else remember the rainbow colored gas puddles you used to see and smell in parking lots? I don't remember the last time I saw any of those.
Then I realized there is a world where my kids can grow up outside of noise pollution, cigarette smoke and car fumes, and it made me a little more hopeful about the future.
What town do you live in that has more electric cars than gas powered? Doesn’t sound believable; but if it is, then that’s fuckin’ sick.
93.9% of new cars sold in Norway are EVs, a further 5% are hybrids.
I don't know what that translates to in terms of cars currently on the road though. But that's also stats for the whole country. You can imagine in a relatively affluent area where there are mostly new cars the vast majority of them are probably EVs.
