I used to work for a Japanese company. The factory in Osaka that I visited employed more than 1000 people but had 12 parking spots. Osaka's streets were also gridlock.
There is no room for new roads is most major US cities.

Japan is 85% mountainous, and the remaining flatland is needed hard for agriculture. Towns booming where there wasn't space for that. It is a peculiar situation.
US cities are different. But even so they are congested.
We do not only need EVs but also tunnels to move them.
If only someone took that serious.
