In lots of places, that would mean that sunlight would be exclusive to oligarchs. The rest of us would almost never get home from work in time. I get that CEOs want early light and early darkness: we usually accept overtime when there's no hope of catching any sunlight, unlike late light and late dark where they have to put overtime on days with bad weather.

    They are huge in the warm, wealthy areas in Norway. In the rest of Norway they hardly exist. I got a really expencive EV a few months ago, and surprise, surprise, importants features stop working completely when it gets below +5 degrees. Not looking forward to the winter.

    Late edit: Someone fell into a complete hysteria over this post, so I'll just post the statistics I was referring to here as well in case anyone else sees this post and are curious: https://elbil.no/om-elbil/elbilstatistikk/elbilbestand/ A couple of the numbers (from 2025 of course as we, naturally, don't have 2026 numbers yet): 11.9% of cars in Finnmark are EVs. 32.1% of the cars in Norway are EVs.
