Why there are no (to my knowledge) electric bikes with 700c tires? All the ones I’ve seen use fat tires, what is the reason behind that? Cc @[email protected]

You are incorrect. Fat tires require greater energy to roll, as they have much more rolling resistance than a typical bike tire. There is more rubber on the ground at all times which increases friction, which requires more energy to overcome.
Fat tires are not more energy efficient and do not provide better range.
No, please see comment below.
Yes. Per your own link:
Fat tires are pressured up around 10-13 psi. Most mountain bike tires are pressured up between 40-60 psi. Road bike tires are pressured up between 80-130psi.
You will always have more rolling resistance with a fat tire than you will with other common bike tires.
