What proposed alternative reduces vehicular emissions by more than switching to EVs?

As I mentioned, I'm all for the reduction of automobile usage as a generality, but that's not as low-friction as a transition to EVs.

We can lament our situation all we want, EVs are what they are. I am not saying they're a full climate solution.

Automakers are switching over them purely as a product decision, with relatively little government regulation pushing them in that direction. (Any regulatory bans on ICE vehicles were easily enacted without industry protest because automakers already know that ICE vehicles will not be competitive products by 2030)
