Are electric cars an example of the Jevons paradox getting paradoxical?

I can’t tell if the question is whether Jevons’ is in play (i.e., battery efficiency per unit of lithium greatly increasing lithium mining), or whether it’s asking if it’s unleashed a counter-paradox (e.g., electric car popularity may be causing a re-evaluation of driving needs, slowing total vehicle purchases.) There are multiple consumption curves in play.

IMHO electric cars are more like "horseless carriages"--an attempt to shoehorn a new power source into an outdated form factor, rather than creating a new form of electrically-powered vehicle. E-bikes and e-scooters seem much more promising in that regard.
