Already about half the cars being sold in Norway are electric. The country is so well-stocked with charging stations that it is promoting tourism opportunities to electric vehicle owners (archive). The Norwegian Automotive Association even has an electric vehicle tourist guide for the country. Some toll roads and the ubiquitous ferries there give discounts to electric cars. Depending on the region, parking may even be free of charge.
From Wired:
Norway's forward-thinking approach to transportation has become not just a point of pride for the country but a bona fide means of attracting tourism. The Norwegian government even maintains a website dedicated to encouraging EV aficionados to visit. That's not crazy: Ecotourism and sustainable travel of this type have grown significantly in recent years. So just like you might go to Botswana for an ethical safari, or to British Columbia for the legal weed and immense preserves of old growth redwoods, you can head to Norway to immerse yourself in a unique landscape and culture, and simultaneously experience what the world can be like when people work together to solve big problems.

The recent imports will find ways to spend that money. New buildings to replace ones blown apart by grenades. New female only swimming pools. Lawyers, hush money, mental health facilities for the misguided arrivals who need help distinguishing free sex walking around flaunting their whorish ways from upstanding fully covered second class citizens, and grief counselling for the war stressed men so impacted by fighting in their homeland they need to repeat these horrors of war in their newly adopted home. Do-it-yourself-at-home abortion kits for preteens and their multiple voluntary 50yo+ "boyfriends". Funding for another anti-rape campaign to teach children how to dress so as not to be guilty of provoking sexual assault. A LGBTI information effort to educate people in Norway that throwing gay men off of buildings is wrong. A DNA matching service for preteens to help them discover who the father of their child is and prepare them for explaining to the child why their father was granted custody. Funding for a new public holiday to celebrate Eid. A new program to fence off No Go areas and route traffic around.
So many new projects in Norway these days.
