Norway has a decent charging infra, at least in the area where I'm at. It's been improving recently as well. Circle K (the petrol station chain formerly known as Statoil) has started installing chargers near where I live, so I would assume they are rolling this out nation wide. A lot of people have individual charging stations at their homes as well. I'm not sure of the state of charging stations in the smaller towns though.

I had been assuming norway would have decent charging infra because I'd thought their parking lots already needed to be wired for engine heaters? Or are those only a swedish thing?

Some residential parking lots have these but they're not ubiquitous. They're often old or broken and not many people use them (modern cars are better engineered for winter starts).

However the wiring for these cannot handle what an EV car chargers requires, so they're useless for charging a car. For EVs typically new charging points are installed and this can be costly. It depends upon if the residents' association agrees to pay for them to be installed.

I have never heard of this existing, but I'm living at a coastal area, far away from the swedes.

> Closest one is like 0,5 mile away, that makes no sense.

Really, you can't walk 1 mile once a week to park your car at a charger?

There's little point owning an EV if you can't charge it every night in a garage/driveway/street.
