That unfortunately doesn't work with special features to select country and see the data.

Norway—where 98% of electricity comes from renewable sources—is one of the top performers on both measures. Driving an ev there cuts fuel costs by about 83% and emissions by 98% compared with driving a petrol car. For the average Norwegian driver, that translates to an annual saving of $1,500 and emissions equivalent to taking a flight from Oslo to Sydney. Norwegians have the highest share of EVs in the world:in 2023 83% of new cars were electric, well above the European average of 15%.
