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.

They are only rich as long as they can sell oil to other countries, but oil is going out of fashion. However Norway can generate electricity for next to nothing as they have so much hydro.
