Most Norwegians also have much more disposable income than I. I wouldn't buy a new gas powered car either.

Sure. That's probably true but has nothing to do with the viability of EVs on a cold climate.

Nor does their market share in a cold climate where people can afford many more luxury goods- replaced more often.

They aren't just replacing them. That's a disingenuous argument. The fear mongering that EVs can't work in cold climates is just mostly made up. There are plenty of ways to handle it that saying they don't make sense is a horrible argument.
