As I said we went to Denmark. And Denmark set this beautiful policy; it's called the IQ test.

It's inversely proportional to taxes. They put 180 percent tax on gasoline cars and zero tax on zero-emission cars.
這個方案被設置成跟稅收成反比。丹麥政府對所有汽油車征收百分之180的稅，不對零排放量的汽車征收任何稅收。
So if you want to buy a gasoline car in Denmark, it costs you about 60,000 Euros.
因此如果你在丹麥想購買一輛汽油汽車，價錢大概是6萬歐元左右。
If you buy our car it's about 20,000 Euros.

If you fail the IQ test they ask you to leave the country.
如果你無法通過這個IQ測試，丹麥政府將命令你離開丹麥。

We decided to come into the U.S. and pick the two best places -- the one where you didn't need any range extension.
