Effect of #emobility on #oil #consumption, what does statistics tell us? Comparison between #BEV pioneer #Norway (🇳🇴) vs. #biofuel addicted #Finland (🇫🇮).

🇳🇴 #BEV + #PHEV share of the passenger cars
- 2016: 3,66% + 1,29% = 5%
- 2020: 12,06% + 5,11% = 17%
Delta +8 %-units.

🇫🇮 #BEV + #PHEV share of the passenger cars 2020 is 0,35% + 1,66% = 2%.

Total amount of registered passenger cars traficom.fi/fi/tilastot/ 2020 is 2,748 million. Cumulative #BEV is doubling every year. Assumed: No effect on fuel consumption yet. vasenvilkku.fi/patteriautot/ 2/x

🇳🇴total sales of petroleum products was 8181 million litres (2020). That has decreased 11% from 2016.

2020 sales of road traffic fuel (petrol & diesel) has decreased 10% from 2016, from 5262 to 4716 million litres. 3/x

🇫🇮 total energy consumption for domestic traffic was 46,1 TWh. That has decreased 5% from 2016 (49,7 TWh).

2020 road traffic energy consumption has decreased 7% from 2016, from 45,4 to 42,2 TWh. Usage of fossil fuels (petrol, diesel, methane) -13%! 4/x

In summary, in the short term 🇫🇮 has been decreasing the usage of fossil fuels more than 🇳🇴 between 2016-2020 (13% vs. 10%). This should decrease also co2, assuming that increased usage of biofuels is #sustainable. 5/x

It is possible that #covid19 is the reason for 7% decrease of road energy consumption in 🇫🇮. If that is assumed general #covid19 effect on road traffic, 🇳🇴 has decreased #fossil #fuels additional 3% because of #emobility.
