Norway's EV love story with Jan Tore Gjøby
Show Notes

Mike and Kevin take a trip up north to uncover the secrets of the EV capital of the world: Norway. Norway is head and shoulders above every other country when it comes to EV adoption, with over 90% of new vehicle sales being EVs.


From removing those notoriously high Scandinavian vehicle taxes to purchase incentives, along with charge plug standardization and the promotion of charging infrastructure in even the most remote areas in the country …Norway is doing - and has been doing -  a little bit of everything to promote EV adoption. 


Today they are joined by Norwegian EV expert and advisor for charging and battery technology, Jan Tore Gjøby. Jan breaks down the history of EVs in Norway, and explains how exactly these new technologies are able to thrive in some of the harshest weather conditions in the Nordics.
