so in a country where it bases its prosperity on oil and natural gas reserves, you buy electric garbage...

ironic.

Agree it is ironic, but it's very clever on Norway's behalf.

For other countries who depend on oil imports, promoting electric vehicles should also be a no brainer. You can either have an internal combustion engined car that needs around 2000 litres of fuel a year imported from the Middle East which means currency leaving off-shore. Or you promote electric vehicles with tax subsides and make huge savings for your country's economy, while promoting green-house gases reduction. It's a win win.

Electric WRC will come, and the smart manufacturers will be there to promote their new eCars to the world. Including the Chinese manufacturers as they are ready to pounce on the new electric vehicle movement.

NOT, do you still buy film for your camera? Don't let the future pass you by!
