This is why BEV adoption should result in a very large drop in cancer and other health problems.
EV drivers have told me after a bit of ownership, they see ICE cars as thoroughly filthy, loud, dirty, inefficient, and almost rude.
Our addiction to being able to drive places with but a mere tap of a gas pedal has blinded us to the devil's bargain of the ICE. I honestly think that a great deal of the instinctive hatred of cyclists is tied to how deeply the power and convenience and freedom of driving has ensconced itself into our subconscious.
We shall see, I guess.

Don’t get me wrong, they are much better than ICEs in terms of total emissions, but not for this particular issue.
