Many governments are encouraging or mandating the use of EVs although, with the exception of Norway, most of these countries do not have an important oil industry. If the national government is to encourage the use of EVs hopefully this will not involve subsidies for luxury cars. EVs will be cheaper to own and operate than ICE powered cars  in the near future. However, since people do not consider the total cost of car ownership when making a car purchase, the move to increased adoption of EVs may not take place as quickly as some suggest.
