True, our fuel prices are way higher here in Europe, but we have a solid public transportation network, we have walkable cities and in countries like Norway the EVs are the majority.

From everything I've seen about US cities and American friends I talk to, for most people, if you don't have a car you can't get to work. That is a thought that is hard to process for Europeans.

Norway isn't dense. It has less population density than the US does

Fuel prices hit hard of you're a Norwegian living outside of the cities (which is the majority of Norwegians). You really need to have a car in the countryside, as both buses and trains are few and far between. There's still plenty of fossil-fueled vehicles out here. People keep them because they either can't afford to make the jump over to electric, don't trust the EV's to handle winter well enough, or because they're worried about the technological hurdle (Norway is an aging population).

Ah, you're right. My goodness, couldn't the Americans even agree with the rest of the world on make-believe silly-units?

"While we can agree that a gallon should be the nice, round sum of 32 gills, I find it ludicrous that you define it as five fluid ounces. I'm putting my foot down. In the United States, it will be the much more manageable four ounces, which will be a different size to your ounces. Nyyyaanyyaanyanyanyaaa!"

Don't need the propaganda, we just need a completely Oslo-centric government that will happily spend money on public transit, as long as it's in Oslo. Pretty much all the governments have been like that for most of my life.
