Good article about why plain switching to EVs isn’t the solution.

The solution is less cars.

And less car (singular/measurement). Weight and size are multipliers to problems (including cost).

Sure E-bikes are better (bikes are better than that, and walking is the best especially for mixed transit), but there should be incentives to drive the smallest cars. And the giant behemoths we have in the US are like 3-4 classes up, these are a problem all on their own.
