Now if I only knew what they are saying........... ;)

That's awesome information. Thanks for sharing!!

I was just in Europe a couple of months ago Cruising down the Rhine River and visited Switzerland, France, Germany and The Netherlands. I don't recall seeing any MME's when we went off shore but I really don't see many around where I live either. Good to know that they are being used elsewhere.

It has Closed Captions ?

There is one segment, where you can see a whole "fleet" of school MME's.
Here in Norway the school cars have pedals for the instructor too.

I did take the time to watch it again via the CC and that is great news in knowing that Europe seems to embrace the "EV World" if you will. It amazed me with the one stat of 78% of new car sales were EV's.

Maybe I should move to Norway? ?

I could use a driver ed course specifically on the MachE! Our salesperson was really excited about the colored interior lights, and that's all I remember about the tutorial. We were just on our own after driving off the lot. Also, I am so glad that there are driving schools in the US getting on board with the electrification of transportation. It's so discouraging to hear all the time about our politicians working to stop the use of EVs.

I am totally with you. It sounds like Europe has taken a much different approach to this. That is not surprising but annoying to say the least.

Take Care

The 78% is here in Norway - I live in a quite rural area, and in my "street" (don't know what the right term is), there's 6 houses, and 2 MME, 1 TMY, one Leaf, and one Zoe.

But moving to Norway just for the EV's is not recommended (even if we've had access to the Tesla supercharger network for quite some time already (Tesla uses Type 2 CCS in Europe))

But - my point (if there is one), is that the future is electric, Youth should learn to drive in an electric car ?

I was being sarcastic by suggesting I would move to Norway due to the EV adoption btw. ;)

I do, however envy some of the more progressive ideas that some Countries have abroad though.

The one thing that was somewhat holding me back on the purchase of the MME for my business were the people that outright despise EV's. With me living in a relatively "rural" setting as well, that was a factor but I said the heck with it and I am going for it. I am sure I lost a few potential customers due to that (which is sad btw). I never wear my political stripes on my sleeve so to speak but the EV (unfortunately) has become a right vs. left issue here in the States.
