*I let out the hugest sigh in the world* Folks: registered EVs are indeed about to out-number registered petrol cars. But we've got a long way to go before outnumbering diesel cars too (also......were there no other photos?? so dusty lol) www.bbc.com/news/article...

Norway, one of the world's largest exporters of oil, now has more electric cars on its roads than petrol-driven vehicles.
Of the 2.8 million private cars registered there, 754,303 are now all-electric, compared with 753,905 that run on petrol, according to new figures from the Norwegian Road Federation.
The Nordic country of 5.5 million people is aiming to become the first nation to end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars - by 2025.
Sales of electric vehicles (EVs) have been boosted by tax breaks and other incentives, funded in large part from the money Norway makes out of oil and gas.
Why is Norway the land of electric cars?
The country has a sovereign wealth fund worth more than $1.7 trillion (ÂŁ1.3tn), built up from the proceeds of its oilfields, to act as a "pension fund" for when it runs ou
a rise in the number of EVs but not even halfway to outnumbering all fossil fuel cars including diesel
