Bad food in Norway.
bad food in the Netherlands, UK, Germany, and Sweden as well imo. 

Italy, France, and Spain on the other hand, phenomenal food.

We found some pretty good food in Sweden and Copenhagen.  A couple places were borderline excellent I thought, may places were just solid and interesting.

Copenhagen has one French bistro type place that was excellent, we had lunch there often, but it was run by Frenchmen, so that hardly counts.

FTFY...
Lol what? Italy is not some poor country in Africa or the Caribbean. Yeah they aren't as rich as their EU neighbors to the north France or Germany or as the UK, but it's still a highly developed first world nation with one of the 10 largest economies in the world in terms of GDP. Oh and it's also in my opinion maybe the most freaking beautiful country in the world to visit with incredible food.

well yeah, I'm sure they all have great restaurants here or there- even in the UK- and I believe the highest rated restaurant in the world is a 3* Michelin in Norway.

But on the whole, on average, food kinda sucks in those places. And their cultures own food culture- kinda sucks. Found that most little mom and pop places in Oslo didn't even serve Norwegian food- lot of Turkish places. This was probably like 10 years ago, so might've changed I don't know.

And this is relevant to electric vehicles how?
Idk? Lot of the shitlibs who once worshipped Elon Musk that now hate Elon Musk in shit-hole California drive his EV's?

Italians make great food.
And art. And wine. And gangs. The mafia, c'mon who can top that? And empires. RIP Roman Empire. Oh and cars. Holy sh*t have you seen the newer Pagani's? Most beautiful cars in the world if you ask me and it's not even remotely close.

We had good meals in Amsterdam. Granted, the places we went to were French and Steakhouses. We did have some awesome seafood there too, in Volendam.

I have to get to Germany. Munich in particular. I love German food. Sauerbraten is my favorite meal. I make it often.

My post was simple: EVs are expensive luxury items, so ownership rate in poorer countries will likely be lower than in richer countries.
have a feeling like once China starts flooding the US/EU market with their EVs in 2025 or 2026 prices on EVs will start coming down.

I think one poster here is considering an EV purchase (in CA).  He can charge at home which helps immensely, and gas is not cheap out there (nor is electricity).  I know "we" are hardly typical, but I'd guess "we" comprise a somewhat higher than mean income level.  One out of 30 or so isn't a good figure, I think.

Might I be interested in say 2035?  That depends on a lot of factors of course, but my gasoline expenses with the hybrid are really not very high as we don't drive much in a year, maybe 6,000 miles.  That would be less than 200 gallons, which around here is about $600.

Imagine an EV was exactly the same cost as an ICEV today, with the same features and attributes.  Would you buy one?  I would not.

I can't charge at home, end of story.

yeah, that's kind my point- you go to those countries and you're eating French food or Turkish food lol. 

I've been to Germany only twice, but was not a fan of the food at all. It's all bland, meat and sausages and potatoes. 

Just hard to really enjoy the Northern Europeans shitty food when you've eaten all around Italy, France, and Spain.

I can't do the EV thing until they have at least 400-500 mile range- THAT YOU ACTUALLY GET- on a full charge as a baseline standard no questions asked- and until they have the charging infrastructure where there are chargers on every corner like we have gas pumps on every corner now. Oh and until they get the fast charging times from 45 minutes to an hour down to like 10-15 minutes. Otherwise not interested. Ever.

I'm mostly hung up on the cost to charge an EV away from home.  That, to me, is the KEY, more than range or charging times.
