I know several people that live "in the north" that have BEV. They seem to be doing fine.

I regularly drive for 4 hours straight on highway speeds on a single charge. The battery doesn't melt. I don't know where you get that idea from, certainly not reality.

I bet you don't live in Norway at all and I also doubt that you have first hand experience of driving an EV. My battery doesn't melt at 120 kph nor does it melt at 240 kph on the autobahn.

Good electric cars are not slow any more than good ICE cars are slow. If you don't think EVs can handle 120kph perhaps you should visit California. I quite regularly hold 140kph, it's simply not an issue.

By the way, where are you going 120kph? I think I averaged 80kph between Bergen and Oslo. I was shocked at how slow typical road speeds are in Norway.
