Norway is one of the coldest regions in the world and is crisscrossed by fjords that make some areas difficult to access. Given concerns that EV batteries don’t run effectively in low temperatures and don’t have as long a range as gasoline vehicles, one would expect that Norway would be one of the last regions to adopt EVs. To the contrary, Norway and its Scandinavian neighbors such as Iceland and Sweden are far and away the leaders in EV adoption. Eight out of 10 passenger car sales in Norway were all-electric vehicles in 2022, with 150,000 sold in total.

Obviously, you only chose to pick out the part that supports your bias, versus what the whole article's subject points out. The article shows that the rich gained from the EV which further divided the inequity of the economy. It also mentioned how mass transport was affected negatively. AND, AND it mentioned that there were more cars on the road when the purpose was to reduce the amount of cars on the road.
Please try to remember that Norway is about 1/30th the size of the U.S. and what is good for one or two small European countries is not necessarily good for us. Cultures are also different in other countries.
Like I said earlier, before taking EVs seriously, this country should have set up a supporting infrastructure that would be conducive to EV integration. You don't sell tickets to ride a train until you have the RR tracks laid out across the country.
