"Norway is the world leader when it comes to the take up of electric cars, which last year accounted for nine out of 10 new vehicles sold in the country."

To my understanding, the taxes have been there all along. They didn't add new taxes for ICE cars, they just issued some tax breaks for EVs. So the cars haven't gotten any more expensive, since that's what Norwegians would have been paying anyway (Whether taxes in general are excessively high in Norway is another issue entirely).
