In Norway, you get to charge your car for free a lot of the time or at very low prices

Free?

Someone's paying for it, even if it ends up being U.S. taxpayers.

US tax payers huh?
How about you read up a bit about Norway before showing your ignorance?

Approximately 88% to 90% of Norway's total electric power is generated from hydropower, making it the backbone of the country's electricity system. Nearly 100% of Norway's electricity production comes from renewable sources, including hydropower and a growing share of wind power.

Plus

Norway generates immense revenue from oil and natural gas exports, with total export values reaching approximately NOK 1,100 billion (approx. $100+ billion USD) in 2024, representing about 61% of the country's total goods exports. The state's net cash flow from petroleum activities—driven by taxes and direct ownership—was projected to be 655.8 billion NOK in 2025, down from record highs in 2022.

And they have a population of less than 6 million.

Maybe America could be seeking a tide over from them.
