Sammendrag
This paper investigates the role of research and knowledge building in developing the world's leading BEV market in Norway 1990-2020. Review of research articles/reports and other documents revealed that Politicians in the early years had little research-based knowledge to build decisions on. The Ministry of Transport therefore financed basic research to evaluate BEVs potential. Incentives suggested by lobbyist, were introduced at negligible cost to support testing/industrialization towards 2000 and 2010, without knowing their far-reaching future consequences. Norwegian industrialization failed by 2010. The policies started working after 2010 when OEM BEVs came. Researcher have after 2010 supported political decisions with market models and by analyzing user needs and policy effects. The early decisions should have been supported by research-based knowledge and regular policy reviews.
