Comment Norway (Score 5, Interesting) 215

Norway has 1602 gas stations ( http://www.np.no/om_bensinstas... ) and 1617 charging stations with 6221 charting points ( http://www.ladestasjoner.no/ ) of which 5384 charting points are public and most are free as in beer.

While driving to most places in the country is possible with a Tesla due to its large battery pack, with most other electric cars it would still be a significant hassle to drive significant distances (over 3 hours non-stop drive) due to their limited range/battery packs.

So I guess the question even with infrastructure in place, and with enough incentives in place, is when will most manufacturers realize that range is critical into turning electric cars from a commuters vehicle into a family, general, all purpose car? (Other then Tesla, I don't really see other manufacturers really "getting it").
