Can YOU help me spread the word about how awesome electric cars are? Click ? EVne.ws/patreon   Read today’s show notes on https://www.evnewsdaily.com   Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Sunday 9th September edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   Your Answers To Question Of The Week…   So what did I miss? Tesla's boss smoked something which for him in trouble, Mercedes-Benz boss unveiled their first crack as a proper electric SUV and Jaguar's boss says there aren't enough batteries to go round.   Electric Cars In Norway According to the World Economic Forum: "The Nordic countries are racing ahead when it comes to electric transformation. For instance, of all the cars sold in Norway this year, almost half were electric.  By June 2018, 47% of all new cars sold were either plug-in hybrid or battery powered electric vehicles. Drivers benefit from free parking and free charging in public places and no annual road tax. Road toll charges are waived and electric cars are allowed to use bus lanes. Norway also has the world’s largest fast-charging station, capable of charging up to 28 vehicles at a time in around half an hour. Oslo is known as the EV capital of the world because of its high proportion of electric vehicles."   And a recent Bloomberg article "It took Norway about a decade to reach six percent electric vehicle sales but then only five years to go from 6 percent to 47 percent. Norway is a special case, given that the country has generous incentives that aren’t replicated elsewhere. It does show, though, that inflection points occur, and when they do, markets can change quickly."   Over the next few shows I'll bring you my first hand impressions of EV adoption in Norway and what it's like in a country where EV's are so commonplace, after a few days it stops becoming a novelty to see one.   https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/09/electric-vehicles-are-half-the-market-in-norway/   https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-08-31/electric-vehicles-in-california-their-day-will-come-suddenly     We asked YOU...China reach one million first, Europe just reached one million, and USA is soon hit the one million EVs on the road. What is stopping you? And if you’re an electric driver, why didn’t you do it quicker?     Philip Moroz I currently do not own an EV but am chomping at the bit to get one! The main thing that's currently stopping me is unfortunately not having the ability to charge at home (near High Wycombe). I do not have a driveway and local parking is not suitable for charging points. Currently, the nearest place to charge is a 10 minute drive and it only has 2 stations that are sometimes 'out of order'. It feels like in the near future the charging infrastructure will get just that little more established to tip people, like myself, over the edge to buy an EV. It feels tantalisingly close and I can't wait.   Neil I bought my last car two years ago. I have a long commute (100 miles round trip) so I would want a car with at least 200+ miles range. Two years ago, the only cars that could do that were Teslas and I couldn't afford a car at £70k. Even the cheap 2nd had cars were £40k which were still a bit expensive. Given the above - I bought a decent hybrid which now gives me 60+ M.P.G. and saves me $600 in fuel per year. My next car will almost certainly be an electric car most likely a Tesla Model 3 but  I am waiting to find out how much it will be before I commit.   DC Various Vids Prohibiting - initial cost for a vehicle, that will cover my average daily mileage; and periodical long journey, (tran
