You are approaching the stop sign at this intersection. You notice the no entry sign on the street ahead of you, indicating that you must turn left. Do you a) turn left or b) loving gun it through the one-way and turn right as quickly as you can just in case there's a vigilant cop around (there never is)?

There's a totally uncritical connection drawn between Americans being slow to adopt EVs and the idea that the price of EVs is inherently high and prohibitively expensive right now because it's new technology. Not a single mention of the huge tariffs imposed on affordable Chinese EVs that have kept them completely out of the US market.

This particular driver inched slowly past the stop sign before mashing the accelerator. Also contemplating how many citiies are going to start putting in bike lanes just for e-bike deliveries (not out of safety concerns but to stop them impeding cars).

Ideally there's three separate lanes for e-bikes, normal bikes, and pedestrians. This can be done by removing the car lanes entirely.

No it's literally no impact, the fuel an ICE would've burned will just be used elsewhere since we're not actually extracting or selling less of it and nobody is buying it to sequester it. The only way you could believe EVs will mitigate climate change is by being so much more lethal to non-motorists that there will be slightly fewer people around to experience it.
