Could someone explain to me how electric cars reduce congestion?

Electric cars reduce congestion by being small and over-priced, so there
are fewer of them :-)

More seriously, they're generally more efficient in stop-start traffic
than IC engines (no idling), and less polluting at the point of use
(including quieter), so the same amount of congestion has less adverse
effect (cleaner air for pedestrians beside the road).

Lots of modern IC engined cars stop their engines if left to idle then
start them again automatically when you make to move off.

But these true electric cars have neither decent heating or air con -
which makes their appeal even more limiting.
