Norway EV take up

#1

Post by richbee »

I've just got back from a cruise up to the arctic circle in Norway - thought it would be interesting to see how obvious the high level of new EVs was on the ground, as I keep reading that new registrations are at or above 80%.
There's, definitely more on the streets than in the UK, but it looked like the % increased the further south we got - once below the arctic circle - eg Alesund seemed to be >50%.
Also noticed a grand total of 0 PV on roofs - which may be explained by the length of time snow is on the ground for, but there were quite a few heat pumps in evidence.
They seemed quite proud of their high % of hydro electricity too.
Solar PV since July '22:
5.6kWp east/west facing
3.6kW Sunsynk hybrid inverter
2x 5.12kWh Sunsynk batteries
1.6kWp Hoymiles East/West facing PV on the man cave
Ripple DW 2kW

Norway's grid is something like 90% hydro and 10% wind - can't get much greener than that!
