    I've got to say that audi sounds a lot like toyota when they talk about plug-ins, and that is not a good thing. Nissan is part of the Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi alliance which is much smaller than Toyota, VW Group (which includes audi), and GM but has sold 500,000 plug-ins world wide. Norway is a very small market, but they really want to go plug-in while selling their oil to other countries. Why not they export hydro power and have great wind potential.

    Norway despite its small population is number 4 in buying plug-ins in the world, behind China, US, and Japan. It is no wonder audi is not going all in here though, when cars get into its price range, why not get a tesla which has a norwegian supercharger network. Nissan will do well in norway with the new 40kwh leaf, and even better when it goes to 60 kwh.
