Agreed. Doesn't appear to match reality either.
Norway's electrical history, look at 2010 and 2022. In 2010 EV's was below 1% of market share (new vehicle sales). In 2022 it was 80% of new sales. After 10 years of > 50% new vehicle market share Norway's electricity usage would have significantly increased if their household-equivalent doubled.
Norway's electricity usage didn't increase very much at all despite the conversion to EVs as their primary vehicle type. The trend line remained fairly constant from decades prior to EVs being popular until recently.
Total energy (electricity, fuel, heating, cooking, etc.) is down quite a bit:
