This appears to be an exaggeration that’s making its way around less scrupulous news sources. From https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2023/12/30/was-oslo-paral... :

a spokesperson called the allegations “an extreme exaggeration… We cancelled, on average, between 50 and 100 departures, out of more than 4,000 daily departures, for a few days.”

The company did however admit they had a few “challenges with the range of the buses being shorter in cold weather."

"We solved this by changing the charging shifts. And also by fixing the charging infrastructure."

Ruter [the bus operating company] claims the issues have since been fixed and the fleet of electric buses continues to run as usual.

That not right at all. Norwegian news say something very different and is probably more reliable.

Reached 1000 cancelations at the worst in a single day it seems.

They managed to resume traffic by using emergency diesel replacement buses.
