B.C. could match Norway's success in electric vehicle adoption by offering greater incentives for drivers to choose green technology, says Tom Pedersen, executive director of the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions. Why does Norway - a country similar to B.C. in population, geography, and hydroelectric power - have more than 30 times the number of electric? And what would it take to close the gap? In the space of six years, Norway has gone from zero to more than 74,000 electric vehicles on its streets, according to a new report by the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions .
