The already these really, the oneill said to all problems. We argue that the buying the electric vehicle, thats the most important thing for the crime as of yet suspected of too many of these maybe theres most of this electric utopia then meets the eye. Well, to understand new ways, a b obsession. We 1st got to rewind to the 1918. Believe it. Oh no, no ways. Nope, the ease goes way back to the late eightys when since pump band hall was in switzerland and so for us to come to the, to being converted to run on an electric power. Leasing a motion. Hook it brute, a similar costs in no way where he began driving its invest names refusing to pay toll talking fees, the arguments eaves with good for the environments and to be incentive. Vice cause impounded many times and puts up for auction at which point the band would buy it back and repeat that performance. They was sped on by environmentalists, frederick conk, and how old and rustic the antics has the desired effect on the since pump revolution helped to give way to the country d v. Revolution the its a part of the beginning of the story, destiny, etc. But a lot has happened since then. This is christina, been the secretary general of the norwegian e. The association, a non profit founded in 1995 that helped advocate for easy adoption shape policy and liaison between the government. Im bias possibly a little more influential than uh huh. In transforming new way into the land of the e. V. And into a country even on musk themselves. The today no way is to to sticks of bomb cuz study shows it is accounted for 82. 4 percent of no ways. You passenger costs sales in 2023. And thats not including plug in hybrids. And in 2020 for those. Because if i need become stronger, we arent above 92 percent because to stronger policies implemented in last years budget. So the budget for this year and the yeah, for the 1st time in history, you might be able to reach a climate goal, which is a very good feeling. Shes referring to know ways 0 emissions, 2025 go. Essentially the countries aim is that in 2025 own you call sold will either be by tree electric vehicles or fuel cell electric vehicles. In other words, theyre aiming for no new internal Combustion Engine calls to be sold in 2025 foot more on that lights. Nor waste e v. Land scape is dominated bytes tests, which in 2023 became the most sold call brand in the country for the 3rd year in a row. That it has the story and nobody has been. It started the 4th through the fast pizza. Around is the editor in chief of no region. Com. I can see my time the 1st cars have been the breakdowns and the cars know because a lot of the about the brands, but then they got their act together and then they have really stepped up. So, so they are, they are a today have a good, strong position in peoples thinking about both of the brands. What weve seen though is that theres definitely a situation and especially the last year or so where, where tesla has increase their market share when it comes to how many cars they sell. And it was january a year ago where they increase the price is quite a lot. And weve seen that other Car Manufacturers and importers might have had a big board problem with competing with tests. In 2023. The model wine was no ways best selling cars. Over 23000. 00 units sold around 3 and a half times as many as its nearly as trying hold the volkswagen id full. Which isnt to say that no way doesnt have any issues with the test. Its thrown it support behind its neighbors sweep way. Unions, the demanding special wages and working conditions. And it also helps look the impulsive test as into sweden. But this hasnt affected the number of testers in no way. In fact, even as americans struggled with their own product, the norwegians have been steadily e v, mist postings to the front. The ease of gain such rapid popularity in the cold, vast notate landscape, has put to rest fee is about the batteries not doing well in sub 0 times about range anxiety. These are rapidly closing in on 100 percent market share in no way. The only reason its not 100 is the, the toyota is logging in, in production of the, of the, these, the moment they authorize on board. Uh, which is a big brand site, the biggest brands on their way. It will be these all over. But how the heck did no way do it for 2060 and we havent goal of reducing arms is by 90 to 95 percent. This is also stated in the law of the climate law. This is rock nodes says that the state secretary of new ways, climates and environment ministry. And it turns out henry gibson was really the norwegian government didnt just draft thousands what policies instead they did things. The early ease in norway will ult looking machines that reminded you of kermit the frog the sink city. But the e v, for example, went exactly the most popular cause in the country. That historically has no driving bella getting to the country that is produced and pretty phenomenal drive is nice to sol bag fits the electric mobility isnt a pulse, is an issue in no way the specific goal of having all new sales of vehicles in 2025 to be serial. Mission is the, the goal that has been there all along across different governments. I think part of the success in norway expected kept the policies in place for a long time. And its partly due to the different Political Parties agreed to at least a certain extent degree, but also agreement across to sort of Civil Society sector. Even if governments have come and gone, no ways, health costs on its climate goals. And the policies that go hand in hand with the ex 30 moves to encourage the adult full and they have to use and they are using the mixtures, they have to make it happen. And those measures is the taxes that we have in your way, in practically practical terms, it means taxing ice cards or question engine cars out of business was really interesting though, is that no waste easy policy existed long before the technology became viable. So over the last decade or so, even while policies remained relatively and changed the number of e b, s available, change down the rates of ab adoption rows sharply. And if you look at a visa, no, it is actually proof of just one thing. And that is, public works, the display, no ways the success story. There are a few concerns that are too many easy with the race to meet the 0 emissions go. Those concerned the charging that what was the able to support the number of eightys the country is expect tv and professor is not good. Lets do the only reason you can go from north to south and no way within the v is because of the tesla. We dont have an interest tester today that can handle 5 times as many cars as soon as of today today. Theres obviously like all the and so called normal charging for ac, charging for people to use on a weekly basis when the exit are just parked in the street. So thats probably one of the challenges going forward. And theres a worry that incentives to buy a these are acting as a deterrence to people using public transport, something the government is actively trying to remedy. So we have urban growth deal. That is an agreement between the local authorities and the governments in the big cities, making sure that we have photos and measures that a month to reducing the traffic growth or stating that the growth in traffic should be with public transport, working, or cycling. All the somebody that has spouse, the population country like norway, with great distances between cities, would ever be able to completely wean itself off because i think youre pretty diluted. If you think that norway can do only with public transport in the whole country, but in the city like also berg and the biggest cities always say its a very major push to, to have public transport and how people bike and, and before, but even the worlds e v capital has a long way to go to fully electrify its transport. The remaining part now to make it successful for all segments. Also the heavy duty vehicles just to make sure that we have charging stations or heavy duty vehicles. So thats the next step in electrifying that. No, we didnt transport sector. When we talked about the 2025 goal, were very close to reaching it for passenger cars. But for light duty vehicles, were not so well. We dont perfect. Where are you still have a way to go there . Um, well the energy going into know ways these is green mainly hydro and wins that are often a few eyebrows raised over the fact that norway is a significant exposure of fossil fuel. We are in touch with the really noise of nestle, fortunately is based on a noise. Theres no worries. The go look at norway says, especially green country, 3 exports, i guess 2 years after the unimportant mission to i have an interest security in this confidence when it comes to transports. There is also an aspect to remember that electricity is more Energy Efficient then. And also do this, we have to start with transport. Well, other youre thinking pres, focusing on changing the Energy Assistance from profiles to renewals. And as that happens, so the demand for no reason, island gas from europe really increased gray areas, the site, the question remains to new ways a v success be replicated by the rest of the well to come back time. It seems, well, there are lessons to be learned. I will send more countries within like your when do strong policies. You can buy a new car today as part of the tiers. Its ridiculous. But replicating the methods used by which country with the funding, green energy and the fed, the small population is always going to be tricky these days left about the reason being are different from other people. This is about the reason having to buy supercars to being electric because of the tax and system. And thats really the main site. The, the noise is exhausting more than 6000000 motorbike because horse, the waste switch and night every day. Emerson levels of sky high, things need to change the climate document, climate and aspect of a thing in a Climate Change means we have to ship from Combustion Engines to electric vehicles. More leaders have promised to gradually introduce watson mules, and to have us better now gave it was like 2050 or 2017. By which time their countries will have made a complete split for the 1st initial Energy Source is low and then a lot of money has been invested already. And to change is alondo 8 when the ga. Gov well in this one but me havent gone away to the young people in particular like doctors do best in on already making the shift it makes sense economically to claim within just i pollution flat major. Theres an amount of money on a daily vanka emissions. They a huge role in vehicle lucian, and Climate Change thing, which is why the government is promoting electric baker. I decided to buy an easy saving money and also so that i could do my best. Lets switch to the mobility is also an opportunity for the city stop. Its like fulfilling its electric to be louis, deliver goods from online retailers. The company says its okay ministration. The new york public, the public was noticed several benefits for the no maintenance costs. Avoiding rising fuel costs, fuel and less pollution. Okay. So in the cost, people can save a lot of money by going electric. Included, the capital of canada got is known as india, silicon valley, despite its fine. I think that protection, it has the same levels of noise and can felicia as an Old Industrial city, one company has recently converted its and dial lead to electric, weakness, drivers, light percent. Not very impressed. You look to evade goods are easy to drive. There are no gears or clouds yet to break in an extra letter, so they are much nice at the drive and traffic. We had to go through one and put them the capital of get it up. You reason a lot of these have tried to get a handle on air pollution by deafening images, regulations, updating the Diesel Engine as of the rate goes to fit for new norms, which have been very expensive for districts up with you. So. So instead to build a brand new lease, run on electricity, on like a warranty decision and the government and that thing they uh, you know, know that, that will be initiated. And as i pulled it up for us, what is the 1st time and the indices. And uh, and so the only refund from the, from the company to company with the government are getting those government grants, bio as a subsidy of up 220002 be around 300. 00 and what the units on ebay goes with cheesy plus those Tax Exemption for 5 years, but critics see the take up, its still far too low. And the the put a lot and im a claimant in him and to get on. If we want to mitigate Climate Change is that we have to stop using fossil fuels. Either favour though, given yeah, i think im gonna get the scientists and researchers with the we have them just 70 is go reduce emissions by 50 percent. We get the ability to download it another minute and then a but thats not a lot of pain. I mean, we have to double that late. We are currently moving ad on them. And that means leaving loss of cheese to email you at the moment. Okay, mama, what am of the plans we sent out . Talk about charging infrastructure is still insufficient. Underscore the electricity use 2 jobs for electric. Beakers must come from renewables. Thats the only way they can be truly sustainable. Nonetheless, these initiatives in Southern India are making a small but important contribution towards aquino future. The. These images made headlines worldwide. In july, this burning cargo ship was carrying nearly 500 electric and more than 3000 other vehicles off the dutch coast. Many feared it would create environmental have ok if it sang, especially because of the electric vehicles on board was the fear justified . Easy battery fires are difficult to control misleading. Since the cars have been on the market, they have been making headlines about the dangers of batteries exploding and extinguish of all fires. According to exports like dix. I was the number of fires, and e cars is much more compared to conventional Combustion Engine cars. But if they catch fire, they are hotter and it takes more water to put the fire out. And many also fear the fires my do we had night hours after being extinguished. Theres only few of the cells really bumped into fire, and the other ones might have a pre damage but has not been burned. And so the energy is still in, and maybe if you start moving the car or it so some water spills on some critical electrical barge or whatever. You may have reaction some work later. According to a us Insurance Service provider, there have been only 25 fires 4100000 electric vehicles sales for a year. They less than and combustion cars. Another claim surrounding the fires of the car batteries is that the high wilted victim young batteries pulls the risk of electric shock to Emergency Responders from exposure to the high will to to components of a damaged lithium ion battery. If you go, for example, to us fire administration, there are special instructions, how to handle fires and connected cars, and one of the warnings thats exactly that. So high temperatures a possibility. So for electric shock because the battery keeps running. And also another thing because of the high temperature, if youre trying to apply water on the electric car, in some cases, it might end up a flyer in flaring up, but the misinformation surrounding cars is not only about the dangers they may cause many also claim theyre not worth the investment, as you can only drive short votes with them. They want to mandatory electric cars. The cars go for like 2 of 2 hours. What are you going to do . Everyone is going to be sitting on the highway. Were all going to be looking for a little plug in this claim by former us President Donald Trump left many surprised because it was an ever up to your turn from his previous support of the cards. But is it true . Electric cars cant drive for more than 2 hours, misleading. Typically a batch please. Efficiency is measured in terms of distance covered. Not the time elapsed according to a cheap cheap by the electric vehicle database electric vehicles can typically travel an average of approximately 350 kilometers on a single charge, depending on their make and capacity. If we adopt this benchmark, a simple Google Search reveals that covering such a distance would require nearly 4 and a half hours in the us. On german, out of bonds with stretches without speed limits a bound one could even travel 350 kilometers in slightly over 3 and a half hours. However, according to a study by the american automobile association, driving conditions including hot and cold weather, also affect the range of an easy. For instance, researchers found thats an average range for decrease by 40 percent due to cold temperatures, antiques, actually, most of the driving of electric cars has in c t where the electric cars are performing much better. So the that to hours, these different exaggeration. And you can even add a little bit more color to that, that of the best cars currently reach are on the market. Giving you city 100 miles, 360 miles full 100 miles on the driving range. The people are not only worried about the efficacy of new cars, but also about their sustainability. Easy batteries have a short life span faults. It is difficult to determine the exact life span of batteries and electric vehicles due to their limited presence overtime. Nearly one 3rd of all electric vehicles hit the rose just last year. However, a recent Study Suggests that the batteries put out last the vehicles themselves. It indicates that batteries replacements are relatively rare, with just over 200. 00 batteries. Out of 15000 easy owners needing replacement, according to most of the manufacturers backs these come with a variety of 8 years, or 160000 kilometers japanese car maker nissan recently claimed the almost all easy batteries the manufacturer are still in use. And this one started as a be production more than 12 years ago. Similarly, test left states that is vehicles in the us typically drive an average of 320000 kilometers and nearly 250000 kilometers in europe before being retired. Compared to a Combustion Engine car, the life span of an e car battery is much longer. According to the american automobile association, batteries of a Combustion Engine, the car have an average of only 3 to 5 years. But some exceptional cases of older cars, lasting 10 years. But the reason im Getting Better and better, and some of them are claiming much longer. Right. And just, but indeed, battery is the very expensive piece of the equipment. And if you are planning to have your car much longer, i dont know 1520 years. Well then indeed, you would need to replace the battery or another common narrative surrounding claims about inc. Cars is that it is an ethical to buy them as child labor is behind the production of their batteries. Children are involved in the production of electricity, hickles show a series of social media posts, as well as human rights activists. Claim that children are involved in the production of electric vehicles. These claims mentioned the cobalt Mining Operations in the democratic republic of congo. Cobalt is one of the essential elements needed in producing lithium batteries. These batteries are used with electric vehicles, but not just their cobalt is also needed for producing batteries for smartphones and computers. Media Research Shows children have been involved in coal. Both mining in the d. R cs mines. This fact has been covered by Mainstream Media on numerous occasions and childs rights activists has been raising awareness for it as well. About 20 percent of the cold is extracted through our seasonal means, meaning, you know, just people with basic tools digging to get some, some rocks and some examples. So we know that even these 20 percent of coal that subtracted in our t z minds, there is a huge problem of children working in these mines. Car companies are researching alternatives for cobalt to produce batteries. And some have announced the only use ethically, mind coal, both. For example, german car manufacturer, bmw, has said its owned by the component directly from australia and morocco. However, a report by the i p. C. C. Notes concerns about the Widespread Adoption of battery technologies, including the growing concerns about resource availability, labor rights, non climate environmental impacts and costs of Critical Minerals needed for lithium, e and batteries. Despite their search and popularity electric cars constituting less than 15 percent of the Global Market share, never the less experts remain convinced that these vehicles we present the future of transportation and more automotive tales.
