Mobesity
‘Mobesity’ is hobbling electric cars ‘Mobesity’ — the increasing size of vehicles, particularly electric SUVs — is reducing the benefits of the rise of electric cars, argues sustainable-travel researcher Christian Brand. “Larger, heavier and often more powerful electric vehicles not only require more resources to build — thereby increasing their environmental footprint — but also undermine the potential gains from electrification due to their greater energy consumption and associated emissions across the vehicle and fuel lifecycles,” writes Brand. He calls for a nuanced approach that combines policy intervention, technological innovation and shifts in consumer behaviour.

Norway is the first country in the world with more electric vehicles than gas-powered cars on the road, according to vehicle registration data the Norwegian road federation, known as OFV, released Tuesday:

#Greenwashing #Petroholics
This country is now the world’s first to have more EVs than gas-powered cars
Norway leads the world in EV adoption thanks in part to government incentives funded by oil and gas sales.
