But thats a huge slow—down since last year. so while china may still sell the most evs per capita, the undisputed leader in sales, its norway. nine out of ten cars sold in that country have a plug rather than a fuel cap, with the number of evs on its roads tipped to overtake petrol cars by the end of next year. it would be the first country to achieve this. so the question has to be asked, how has norway done it? well, to find out, i caught up with the state secretary of the norwegian ministry...

Just in dollar terms, but in the cost to the planet in creating these batteries. so the question is — do evs actually add up to benefit the planet in the long—term? yes, they definitely do. if you look at an electric vehicle, number one, you dont have the air pollution issues that you have with internal combustion engines. and air pollution causes millions of deaths all around the world every year. in addition, charging an electric vehicle from renewable energy is much better for the planet ...

Im going to be discussing all of that with these three. there they are, the boss of the organisation working to make charging evs easier. a global ev battery expert and the state secretary for the norwegian ministry of transport, who explains just how norway has become a super player in the electric vehicle market. also on the show, one carmaker showing no signs of a lack of confidence in evs. the boss of general motors europe explains why its committed to an all—electric range. wherever youre...

For every government, its quite important to agree and to unify on one standard. it gives security to the users, it gives security to the investment companies. and this is our main goal to driving the discussions to a unified global standard for charging of evs. andre, how far off are we from having a global standard system? in europe, we are close to 100%. we have ccs as the common standard for the eu. of course, when we see it globally, we have differences. we have one standard in china. we ha...

Intelligence, great to have you with us. thanks for your time. thanks very much for having me. well, another point of frustration for drivers is the scarcity of charging stations and a lack of rapid charging docks. and those issues, theyve contributed to the so—called range anxiety, and thats hampered governments efforts in persuading people to make the switch to electric. so, how do we solve the problem? well, to find out, i caught up with one of the bosses at the organisation trying to do ju...

And carmakers do to recharge consumers interest? im going to be discussing all of that with these three. there they are, the boss of the organisation working to make charging evs easier. a global ev battery expert and the state secretary for the norwegian ministry of transport, who explains just how norway has become a super player in the electric vehicle market. also on the show, one carmaker showing no signs of a lack of confidence in evs. the boss of general motors europe explains why its com...

Emissions and limit global warming. theyve been offering generous subsidies to encourage drivers to make the switch to, well, more environmentally friendly electric cars. so far, theyve worked, tempting new ev drivers to overlook less desirable factors like battery range, the higher price tag and a charging infrastructure thats still in its infancy and racing to catch up with demand. sales of electric passenger cars currently make up 14% of the total global car sales and have been doubling rough...

Do you think that gm europe all—electric will be more successful than gm all—electric in the us, just because of geography and size? i�*m not going to compare the two in terms of which will be more successful. i do think they�*re at different points in their electrification journey. i think they�*re at different points in their electrification journey from a customer acceptance perspective, as well as an infrastructure perspective, and so it�*s difficult to compare them when they�*...

But at the same time, geopolitically, the west has decided to, you know, de—risk from china, reduce its reliance on chinese supply chains, and sees chinese electric vehicles as challenging automotive industries in the west and, you know, threatening the jobs, the employment and the economic growth those industries provide. but the challenge is chinas dominance in many areas of clean energy, especially electric vehicles, is so great that its extremely hard for the us to cut that reliance overni...
