This from a country that generates a large portion of its wealth from oil.

If we turn all the vehicles to Electric there is no enough energy (power generation)

Depends on the country. But often there is excess power generation and grid capacity at night, which makes it an ideal time to charge your car. Here in Canada we reduce the amount of water going through hydro-electric turbines at night.

21% of the country energy comes from thermoelectric.... on fossil fuels....

Norway? No, but in any country, whatever the mix, electrification will mean that EVs will become greener by the year as fossil fuel power plants are replaced by renewables.

Norway has vast hydro electric power which makes use of electric cars feasible. In Canada only nuclear power would make this remotely feasible.

Canada is rich in hydro electric power as well. So many rivers and lakes. Especially rich in BC. Canada is also rich in wind, both land and sea. Just under-developed. Entrenched in sand oil and coal.

They just are so much better (& cheaper to operate) than the 100 year old technology. No oil changes, no gas station visits, so quiet and $100,000 equivalent acceleration.pic.twitter.com/Ufquj8Mr7Z
