“Norway is the world leader when it comes to the take up of electric cars, which last year accounted for nine out of 10 new vehicles sold in the country.”
Then don’t heat up the battery, and see if it runs. Won’t work, because EV’s have to heat up the battery to get it working, because they don’t function in extreme cold.
And while we’re at it, what’s the workaround for the batteries catching fire and exploding in the extreme heat of summer? We need to implement some cooling pumps while we’re at it?
Or just skip all of the complexity, and use abundant & clean hydrogen.

WTF is wrong with your logic process? Why would you remove a key component of the car? Lets take the starter out of ICE vehicles. Oh hey, they don’t function in any temperature at all!
The point is clear that ICE vehicles work just fine if properly engineered for cold climates.

Would you like to bring sources to this discussion? Here’s mine.
1529.9 fires per 100k for ICE vehicles and just 25.1 fires per 100k sales for EVs.
Oh, were you just pointing to 1-in-a-million incidents as reasons to shelve an entire technology. Tsk.
abundant & clean hydrogen.
There’s nothing abundant and clean about them in the current car ecosystem. I’ll grant there’s a possibility of that, but that doesn’t mean much when the competition has already delivered.
