The clogging of the bus lanes because of electric cars is mostly wrong. It's been a lot in the news, but no one has proven it. They all just point to the correlation of more electric cars in the lanes. Not the correlation with more traffic in general.

The clogging happens because every car wanting to get on or leave the highway has to cross the bus lane. It's easy to see for yourself.

I don't live in Oslo so I can't comment on the situation there (or anywhere else for that matter), but in Kristiansand the EVs are a very real issue in the bus lanes. Granted, the bus lanes weave in and out of the general lanes so congestion in the general lanes is the root of the problem for sure.
