ICE cars in Norway enjoy a 25% sales tax and quite a lot of taxes for the co2 emisions, engine size etc. Most low end cars end up just short of 100% in taxes, high end cars up to 200%, and luxury cars are a lot more.
Electric cars would not sell anywhere near as good if they weren't exempt from taxes and cost twice as much as they do now.

In other words, when you take away the implicit subsidies for the unpriced carbon, electric cars become cost-competitive?
(In Norway, the electric grid is primarily renewable/hydro based[1]... yes, I realize this argument is different for countries with different electrical makeups)
