Hi Charlotte

These are my main ideas coming from that study.

Of course it is great - that Northern Countries including Finland is high rated in study

But is is not the main interesting thing in this study as I see it.

Main things are this

1. Electric driving vehicles cannot be represented only with electric cars - especially from environmental reasons.

Because we must think where and how they are used.

If we take any city,  town, their any part or bigger village where is living more people in 4 km2 area - 2 x 2km area - in that area are all everyday services people need for their everyday living.

And in that area people get those services using cars - driving with over 1000 kg weight car only few kilometers for getting food. 

That is simply crazy and bad thing for every envirommental side - independent of energy cars are using. Because ratio of 75 kg person driving with over 1000 kg car for getting 5 kg food from < 2 km distance - is reasonable at all.

So I think driving any cars in that 4 km2 area should be denied - and instead of that people should buy and drive both electric bicyckles and electric scooters - because they are enough in that living area.

So category of electric driving vehicles concerning only electric cars is from environmentally side misleading.

2. Other point of importance is not what countries are best - but what coutries are worst - and why.

Because concentrating to those countries and reason why they are not so well developed environmentally - is more fruitful scene - than being proud about it how good we in environmentally most developed countries are.
