Bloomberg has calculated that electric transport reduces the consumption of oil by about 1.5 million barrels per day.

The figure is serious - it is more than a percent. True, there is a classic manipulation of facts. The headline wants everyone to think that it's about Tesla and other cars. However, the Bloomberg chart clearly shows that 2/3 of this figure falls on two and three-wheeled electric vehicles. That is, for all kinds of scooters and mopeds. Buses follow, and we are almost sure that for the sake of beauty, the pictures also included trolleybuses riding on centuries-old technologies. Well, directly four-wheeled electric vehicles are just a speck of savings. And Bloomberg also forgot to calculate how much oil is spent on creating electric vehicles and charging them.
