Where did United States rank?
One of these countries is not like the others! It’s the only non-European country on the list and likely the top producer overall.
People out there affording new cars? Damn
Good visualisation, but not perfect: I dont understand the connection between countries with same color, why two countries next to each other have the same color, and it would be nicer ro use 100% as max x axis value istead of 92%.
This is BS, no way Sweden is over 50%
i feel like an important bit of context thats missing from these graphs is that norway exports more emissions per capita than almost any other country (approximately three times that of saudi arabia, only qatar has more) and is hugely investing in oil and gas extraction. The emissions of those extractions are about 4200 times bigger than what is being saved with driving EVs in Norway
I researched this topic as part of a study project. Since 2012, the registration of electric cars has increased. In comparison, I looked at the health statistics of countries with high registration numbers and noticed that, for example, Alzheimer’s disease has also increased significantly during this period. Could someone possibly relate these data to each other? Would be very interested in the results.
Norway is a huge oil producer. I don’t think that is a bad thing, they are helping to supply the EU after Russia got shut off. But keep that in mind, Norway is an oil state that has modernized their internal transportation while continuing to export fossil fuels.
Hahaha. For NL, wait until 2026. Then the tax incentive for getting an electric company car is gone. ;p
Norwegians need to lie to themselves they are saving the planet.
A country literally built by polluting it. And now they try to deny it to poor and 3rd world countries stating the planet can’t take it anymore.
It would have been cute if each bar looked like a battery health bar or something.
I did my part for 2025 , replaced my and my wife’s car to EV in this year. Not only because of the emission, but much cheaper to keep and use EVs than anything else.
