The EV transition is real

Would you dare visit a winter state in your EV?

I don't own an EV but, as a reminder, Tesla (and other EV manufacturers) do their best business in Scandinavian countries:

The ...countries with the highest share of EV sales are Norway (all-electric vehicles made up 80% of passenger vehicle sales in 2022), Iceland (41%), Sweden (32%), the Netherlands (24%)...

I think they understand winters.

You're daft.

There are two disparate issues you do not seem to be aware of...

In Norway, 98% of their electricity is from renewable sources (mostly hydo, because of the tens of thousands of fjords they have)...

And Norway as a COUNTRY has a population of what...5 million? That's 1/4 of NYS.

All 5 countries of Scandinavia comprise 25 million people, which is all of NYS.

So 5 COUNTRIES in Europe make up 1 STATE in the USA.

You're moving away from the point. Nonetheless, let me help you check with reality. Nordic regions comprise nearly 28 million people. That's about the same number as all Canada bordering states combined.

Yup, that's right.

Your original point, however, was to suggest EVs somehow cannot operate properly in cold climates. It's just plain wrong.

All registered vehicles isn't a good measure because it's all registered vehicles, from motorcycles, cars, trucks to buses. California has a stated ban on the sale of ICE vehicles by 2035. You want to see how fast gas stations will shut down?
California is in full transition. People are buying EVs but holding on to their ICE vehicle, just in case. If they are reassured with their EV, they will ditch the ICE. As the state EV infrastructure develops (more chargers, more repair shops, etc.) and conventional one disappears (longer distance to gas stations, higher gas prices, fewer repair shops, etc.) more people will give up their ICE vehicles. The fastest transition will come from single family home dwellers in urban and suburban zones and the slowest will come from those living in apartments and poorer rural communities.
The transition to EV also has to account for generational change. 10% of the 27 million drivers license holders are 65 or older, and those who still drive will likely not switch in great numbers.

Huh? Doesn't the transition involve all vehicles?

2.5% is nowhere near full transition.

It will likely happen someday. Anyone who thinks they "know" otherwise is .... blowing smoke - pun intended.

Wrong. Tesla has one of the highest customer loyalty of all car manufacturers.

And you live abroad in a police city/state haha paranoid protection much.

One of the do's and don't to rigidly follow:-

4. Have cash readily available
Although Singapore has adopted a large amount of technology into daily life, many areas still see the value of cash. Having some of the local currency readily available can benefit those in the area in a variety of situations. Smaller neighborhood shops may prefer to have customers pay in cash. Similarly, older eateries or hawker centers (food halls) may also work more on a cash basis than credit cards or contactless payments.

Wrong, you never need cash in Singapore . Most everything that is not paid with a credit card is done by contactless app payment called PayLah, a Singaporean specific interbank payment system that deducts pay directly from your local bank account.
