Is this some universe where people forgot bikes exist? How are electric vehicles better than riding a bike?
Less effort? I don't know where environmentalists got the idea that the average guy is a cross fit three time gold medalist, most people want effortless traversal

Seems like a no brainer! And especially useful in dense cities where you don't want to be stuck idling in a car.
Exactly why 'muricans won't get rid of their wankpanzers.
If you're not that wealthy you might be able to afford a car but not want to buy a car and an expensive e-bike. A car is useful for short distance trips in bad weather, longer trips that might not be the majority of your travelling, and transporting stuff that won't fit on a moped (or an e-bike unless you get a trailer... or bigger stuff than that.) In that case you're going to buy the one tool that covers your needs.

Is this because of China? Big middle class all wanting cars but the cities were designed pre-car, so bikes make more sense and cost less?
