97% of new cars sold in Norway are EVs. We have excess solar power going unused. Why dig up oil just to burn it when we could be running off free solar?
Norway is a petro state. Those EVs are green washing, paid for by exporting fossil fuel. Those EVs will all be broken in a few years and they will send them to land fill and buy another lot. Not half as smart as building public transport and liivible cities.
Australia could also be a petro state and own the profits from mineral extraction and invest it for our people but the risk of doing that is becoming addicted to fossil fuel revenue.
97% EV in Norway is a fluke based on taxing policy which they can afford, thanks for oil they are selling to rest of the world. If you stop burning oil, what are you going to use to build roads? Reinforced concrete? Just check how much CO2 emission it will produce. Moving to non-oil economy is easy only in eyes of people who refuse to see picture at whole.
We produce enough oil for themselves, just need more refineries. EVs are still not an answer.

EV batteries are nearly always recycled.
