For a laugh (and cry), you can have a look at which countries are above the US in terms of life expectancy. It includes the likes of Maldives, Costa Rica, Panama and Oman.

Discard the Brownshirts, their collaborators, and the Putin fluffers, and you probably won't have many choices left.

The hydro power helps, sure. But Norway is big, cold, and sparsely populated.

All cars were new cars once. If a majority of new cars are EVs, then it is only a matter of time before most used cars are as well.

It's not (just) a matter of money. Even in China a third of new vehicles are EVs, and Estonia is much richer than China.

EVs already attained mass adoption. In Norway almost all new cars are EVs. Several countries are not far behind. Most countries are more suitable for EVs than Norway.

Actually, we're not a long way off from that. Hydrogen production facilities utilizing (excess) renewable electricity output are under construction as we speak. For example, a large project in Kazakhstan (which has large stretches of windy, sunny and empty steppes) is aiming to be online in 2030 with 30 GW of production going towards green hydrogen.
