I think it’s always appropriate to add the caveat to Norway that they have heavily subsidized and forced electric car sales even though they have one of the largest per capita sovereign funds that is almost completely financed by the sale of “dirty” oil. If every country had Norway’s resources, per capita, the government can fund a shift quickly to electric cars. When you only have 5 million people and a crap load of dirty dollars, you can do a lot of things other places don’t. Statistics are fun to “lie” with!!

I have an 8 yr old Infiniti that gets 20 mpg and only drive 5-6 K miles a year---gonna drive it the rest of my life--20-25 years unless the gov buys me an electric car.

A lot of these batteries require minerals such as cobalt which is often mined with slavery. How do you balance this human cost ethically?
