In Norway 97% of new cars sales is electric, so its wrong nobody wants it.
But, most people dont care, they still buy teslas in norway...

Yes. But only because they effectively made it illegal to buy other cars with subsidies and taxes.

Yeah they have a zero emissions car sales mandate whilst being a very wealthy nation thanks to oil and gas. Imagine that lol. Oil and gas worth twice as much to Norway as all the exports that 85 million Germans can produce. Their trade surplus is worth $8,000 per person per month. Eurozone trade surplus is worth $37 per person per month, averaged to a year. UK runs a trade deficit by policy, as France, Finland and others. The wealth just isn't there in other countries, so yes, it's the prices for most ordinary people.

In Europe electric cars runs mostly on coal. You need to get electricity from somewhere, right? And that is coal, oil. It´s a bit hypocrisy running an E-vehicle and still think you contributing... A clean Euro 6 diesel run with HVO100 fuel could actually be a lot cleaner.

What about collision safety with only spaceframe and no real panels surrounding the bodyshell? Will the G-forces increase when hitting a firm object.

An ordinary bodyshell itself has zones mitigating g-forces, which I don´t really see a spaceframe has...

They say the new spaceframe with safety cell will be safer than the current Rally1 cars.

But they way we've recently seen doors, tailgates, full side panels etc fly off with light contact doesnt seem good to me either.
