Norway is a smaller country but remember, this is the EU. People routinely live in one country and work in another as a citizen of the EU can work anywhere in the EU. Commuting distances are similar.
I'd have to see some links that show commuting distances via automobile are similar in Europe to North America to believe that's even close to being an accurate statement. Population density is much greater there (even when you compare Norway to Canada) and their fuel is outrageously expensive up north (most likely why electric vehicles are popular). The transit system is more developed in Europe due to the population density. Those people that do commute any distance use public transportation and even those with shorter commutes usually use transit since cities are not car friendly for parking or traffic. In Europe, owning a car is still a luxury and not a necessity like most parts of North America.
