  • Nah, I think Norway is perfect country for EV adoption. Winters are not that cold - most of population lives on the coast. Mountain driving is much better in EV than in a fossil car - when you need to descent from a high altitude in petrol car you have to remember to keep high gear and not to burn breaks. In EV you just smile at the battery charge going up.

    In Norway almost all driving is 70 - 90 km/h tops. You have quite high efficiency here, so a 400km rated EV will actually deliver that range on a road trip. It is like 5 hours of driving before you need to charge again. In central Europe in a similar car you jump on a motorway and at 140km/h you need to recharge after 2 hours or so, which is annoying.

















  • Good contents and ideas - which are actually implemented in Open Research Europe system. Minimal checks and balances, peer review as public comments after publication.

    However I don’t fully agree that peer review as we have today is worse than nothing. I published a bit and reviewed a bit more. I have marked for rejection probably a third of published papers for basic methodology errors that fully invalidate results. Those papers would just add to the noise that already exists via thousands of papers published…
