Honestly NMC as well as cobalt-free LFP batteries are already enough for this transition, range is good enough already, Norway has pretty much finished its transition to EVs, it’s mostly just up to governments in other countries to get things together at this point.
Solid-state batteries will never really become the end-all for EVs that it is hyped up to be, because EVs will be working out regardless of whether they actually scale up in a reasonable time frame or not.
I mean yeah, but it’s also just the difference between a stable democracy and an oil-dependent dictatorship, they would’ve been called crazy not to make use of the oil, which money has had large effects on the quality of life of citizens, but they also try to balance that with trying to hold themselves to a higher standard elsewhere. Think that’s pretty applaudable of them.

Norway using all that oil money to buy EVs is pretty hilarious

In a way, it is.
Otoh, it beats using that oil money to buy weapons and skyscrappers (and football clubs).
