Yes they won’t be just because of it, but I think it’ll be a very influential factor

I think that's unlikely. EVs aren't much different from ICE cars in operation, and they have the same large space requirements.

Unless you include e-bikes of course, in which case sure. But electric cars have most of the same problems with regards to encouraging sprawl, danger to pedestrians/cyclists, etc.

If we want changes it's gonna have to be a conscious effort to reshape our built environment.
