roads designed for cars are massively larger than roads that aren't made for cars, a standard modern car-centric road would be a pretty major and significant thing for most of human history.

A single standard car lane is a generously wide bike path.

eeeh, i don't think this is a particularly noticable benefit.
The amount of noise given off by cars at those speeds is just an annoyance, the real problem is the tyre noise at high speeds and that's only made worse by electric cars.
They recently lowered the speed on a through-road near me from 70km/h to 60km/h and it made a pretty huge difference in how tolerable it is to be anywhere near the road, the difference between a combustion and an electric car driving on a residential street is so much smaller that it's not even funny.

there's no world without cars, but there's also no world without tractors, and i have literally never seen anyone give even the slightest shit about tractors aside from when they're stuck behind one on the road, which is kind of hilarious because even then the problem is cars as any smaller vehicle could just pass the tractor.

here in sweden more than 80% of the population already lives in an urban area, and contrary to what some people want to believe it's perfectly fine.

Are you seriously using denmark as an example of car dependence?
This is the extent of the danish rail network in 1930, there is no reason any part of denmark needs to be car dependent.

even without external electricity you don't need batteries, there were perfectly functional buses in the 60's that used flywheels to store energy. And i believe technology has advanced ever so slightly in the 60 years since then..

it's also important to remember that electric cars are heavier (you know, batteries) which increases road wear, tyre wear, and makes them more dangerous in collisions (and means they need yet more battery to push the extra weight, very fun).

Electric cars are really only strictly better if they're also made smaller and lighter, electric cars are great but we should be treating 2-seaters with like 200km range as the norm.
