Not mentioned here is that the car isn't the future of transportation. It doesn't matter if we drive gas cars or EVs, there isn't enough space in cities to accommodate them. Traffic is already horrible and there is no space for new roads or parking lots to accommodate the millions of people moving to cities. In Seattle 40% of the city land mass is dedicated to car parking. (That doesn't include roads, just parking). There are 5 parking spots for every household in the city.

I doubt that. Someone will come up with an ingenious solution, such as this:

Or cities can utilize underground parking more, like Salt Lake City.
I suspect that traffic will get better in the likely event that automation takes over many jobs in the next 30 years. People will start working from home more or a socialist will implement UBI.
