And that's having a parking garage at all. Electrified street parking is nigh on non-existent.

Oh I wouldn't say it's non-existent [1].

There is also plenty of street charging stations in Oslo, I have many friends there without a garage that has electric cars. It's just a matter of putting up the infrastructure. It's a policy issue not a practical one.

One charging point — or even a thousand — across a country with >30 million cars does qualify as nigh on non existent.

It's both. When the charging infrastructure is not in place, it's impractical for many people to buy an EV.
