The Most Successful Electric Car Cities (+ Infographic) - CleanTechnica

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular, as people and cities all over the world have started recognizing their advantages and introducing initiatives to promote the use of the plug-in transport option. Although EVs are still largely considered to be somewhat “cars of the future,” there’s a rising global movement committed to making existing electric cars a reality of today. In a major recent study, the International Energy Agency (IEA) analyzed this trend and found that only 16 cities and regions in the world account for a staggering one-third of all the EVs in use today.

And they don't even include Oslo in the study. That's quite silly.

There's around 2000 electric cars in Oslo (and an additional 3000 within commuting-distance). 2000 EVs makes for 320 EVs per 100 000 inhabitants and around 880 EVs per 100 000 registered cars.

I could also mention that the Oslo county is replacing all it's fleet vehicles with EVs over the next 2 years. All 1000 of them. (Split between Nissan Leaf, Peugeot Partner Electric and Mitsubishi i-MiEV.)

It is kind of cool to see two Dutch cities (Amsterdam and Rotterdam) in there! Guess we're doing pretty OK for such a small country.
