Thankfully we are already seeing most malls with 300+ parking spaces at least got 2-3 EV spots with slow recharge possibility and they city goverment in Oslo has decided to build 400 new recharging stations within the town. But of course most EV's here in Oslo are of the
speedy NEV kind.
The problem the way I see it is that most of the NEV's and cars like the new Think is intended and sold as a nr 2 car. A primary city car intended for short commutes.
The prius on the other hand is intended as the nr 1 car to be the primary and only car. The Whitestar obviously is intended as a nr 1 car, which is why Tesla is getting scared that it's range will be too short to satisfy american customers. Hence the messing around with dino-engines. I would by satisfied with a much shorter range and I'm sure there are plenty customers in Europe generally and Norway in particular that would love a pure EV whitestar I really really hope they will release a pure EV whitestar and not only a REEV version...
