It is a real scenario.
You are not other people. Other people drive more & for longer distances than you do.
Okay.
I, roughly ONCE a week, pull off the side of the road and turn into the entrance of a gas station that is conveniently located right off the very same road that I am already driving on anyway.
They aren't.
Who has said that? I haven't seen anyone in this thread say that.

No, Norway's government forced EV's on the population. They offered massive, costly, incentives to entice people to buy and drive one. At the same time, they slapped onerous taxes and other penalties on ICE vehicles to further disincentivize them.

Say what you want, they've been banned on ferries in Europe for all intents. Norway's government might be pleased, but it's clear the population isn't. They just tossed their government out for a more conservative one.

Because The Ferry Company believes the same lies you do. Right wingers swim in a sea of lies trying to avoid the truth.

Incentives, and disincentives for alternatives, are the equivalent of force if they are onerous enough, and in Norway's case that was exactly what happened.
Ferry companies saw vehicle fires from EV's on ships and the danger those posed and banned the cars as a result. It's likely their insurers were urging them to do so too. One EV fire was seen as sufficient to likely gut the ship and lead to its loss. The ship owners simply didn't need that risk, so they banned the vehicles.
