Since Norway's official plan now seems to be to get its people out of cars and onto bikes or public transportation, the very successful switch to EVs has become a problem. To me, this says more about the govt of Norway than about the viability of EVs.
As for temperature - to me, the jury is still out. The temps in Oslo are fairly temperate? The temps in the top 20 largest cities in the US, including Chicago, are no less temperate. If EVs successfully handle the weather in Oslo then they should also successfully handle the weather in those 20 cities.
