Urban residents in Norway faced several challenges when it came to purchasing electric vehicles. Limited access to comprehensive and updated information on EV models made it difficult for potential buyers to make informed decisions. The absence of a centralized platform for comparing different EVs side by side further complicated the decision-making process. The traditional process of visiting multiple dealerships to compare options was time-consuming and inefficient.
