"Norway is the world leader when it comes to the take up of electric cars, which last year accounted for nine out of 10 new vehicles sold in the country."

Not really. They have a very simple tax device that ensures EVs are cheaper than thermal cars. China has put in place something similar. It is not a rich country thing. It is about being serious about its transition

I wonder whether they even buy EU car brands like Peugeot lol

We do. Lots of teslas and asian brands though. But we have seen more and more of the "normal" brands as well these last few years.

Which is just making all cars more expensive for everyone, meaning that Norweigans who can buy new cars are wealthy enough to buy expensive cars.

So what. Nice red herring.

The cost of the EVs are in black and white listed on any dealers website in norway.

They are stil, on average, 3 times the price of an ICE vehicle.

They are not subsidised to parity, far far from it.

Do you haver a source for that?

I have read they reached parity, I would be happy to have a way to contradict that.
