There are no high electrification regions with high electricity prices.

There are no high electrification regions with high electricity prices.
The ceiling of the possible is far above our heads. For example, Norway has EV sales of over 90% of total car sales (vs ~25% in Europe); Denmark and Iowa have solar & wind penetration of over 60% (vs <25% in EU/US); electrification in Zhejiang and Guangdong is at 50% (vs ~25% China).

Yet, there is a surprising uniformity in the pattern of change. From Shanghai to Inner Mongolia, Italy to Denmark, Florida to Iowa; solar & wind uptake and EV sales are growing along a surprisingly universal S-curve across all 110+ territories.

Uptake within each bloc varies substantially. In Europe, for example, solar/wind generation ranges from <1% of generation (Albania) to nearly 70% (Denmark).
