Interesting, EV adoption behaves like a social contagion.

2018: Norway -> 21%, Denmark -> less than 1%
2022: Norway -> 81%, Denmark -> 20%
2026: Norway -> 98%, Denmark -> 80%

Follows "gradually at first, and then all at once" pattern, on a per-country basis. So culture is definitely playing a big role.
Another interesting point is that you can't tell just by looking at the chart which country is going to snap from <50% to >80% next. Denmark was behind Sweden and Netherlands, and now it is far ahead of them.

Norway is now at a point where - in another decade when majority existing cars retire off the road, smaller more rural gas stations will shut down because the economics stop making sense for them.
