If most people used electric bicycles instead it would be about 1kWh per day instead +-100%, on tenth of the energy consumption, that would lead to more productive work hours, and less time spent at hospitals, and less issues with the big killer diseases affecting heart and lungs.

that would be great, but many areas in the united states are not very friendly to bicycle (even electric bicycle) commuting. better urban design has important implications for all kinds of things about how we live our lives, sustainability especially.
