More than 80 percent of new cars sold in Norway now are EVs.

Which also means that all the talk in the US about EVs not being reliable in cold-weather states is just pure crap from politicians trying to protect oil and the gasoline car industry.

Yup. Car and Driver Debunks Cold Weather EV Myts at most you get a 20% decrease in the efficiency of your charge. And EVs are actually better at staying warm while idle/off.

20% is huge on cheaper (i.e not horribly expensive) EV 's when you'll already be on the edge of your range for daily use. Luckily though, most people don't live in northern latitudes.

They're reliable. They just expend more energy in winter time so you get worse range.

And over 90% if you count PHEVs too. Norway demonstrates electric vehicles are completely viable.

Who are the manufacturers building these cars? I'm curious how many are the very same manufacturers we have in the US and where the disparity occurs.

9/10 of the top EVs are also sold in the United States. The only outlier is the Skoda which is basically a Volkswagen.
