While ‘range anxiety’ used to be a factor in purchasing an electric vehicle years ago, consumers have less to worry about when it comes to how far their EV can go, experts say.

I bet safe and seperated bike lanes in every major city would reduce carbon emissions a lot more than EVs in every major city.
Yes, I believe another article posted recently said this to be true.
It’s actually more efficient (in terms of energy) to drive an EV over a regular bike based on what food you eat.

Now E bikes are the best.
Ok, but does that factor in the cost of car dependancy? The impacts of snow clearing? The impacts of building neighbourhoods you cannot walk in? The toxic effects of tire dust? The carbon cost of producing and shipping the materials and vehicles for both bicycles and EVs? Or does it just factor in the energy of using them without considering production and end of life treatment? From the link you provided, it seems it only factors in the energy during use and none of the other externalities.
Doesn’t matter if EVs are twice as effecient to use if you have to travel 4 times the distance.
