known as the “Gateway to the Arctic”, receives no sunlight for two months of the year.
 
 Yet this remote, beautiful, snowy city is the unlikely focus of the global electric car industry, attracting the attention of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk, founder of electric car maker Tesla.
 
 His company has recently opened a showroom there – its most northerly outpost.
 Why? Because Norway, it seems, is simply nuts about electric cars.
 
 The country is the world leader in electric cars per capita and has just become the fourth country in the world to have 100,000 of them on the roads.
