TL;DR: Norway subsidised electric cars a lot, that money went to the rich more than the poor, and left them with less money to spend on transit which delivers better outcomes for cities.

    Fair enough, I guess. But seems like a zero-sum-game attitude, especially given Norway’s stark urban/rural divide. Certainly Oslo should be preferring mass transit, but out in the many rural villages of the fjord-laden countryside, where density precludes mass transit, EV subsidies seem appropriate.
