Transition is almost done around Oslo, and we are doing fine.

Do people there only use cars around town or for short road trips?

I know the trains in Sweden were great when I was there a few years ago, I assume Norway would be similar.

Modern mid-size EVs have a range of more than 400-500km. To put this into perspective, the drive from Oslo to Bergen, the other end of the country (latitudinal) is about 460km and takes 7h. You could possibly make that without even recharging, if you manage to sit still, without a break, for 7 hours.

A classic usage is driving to the cabin.

Now, yes few people drive as far as possible without breaks.
