For the alternate encoders, AV1 is very new, so they don't exist yet (publicly anyway). EVC on the other hand doesn't even exist yet on paper. So that comparison is still rather mood.
I'm sure EVE-AV1 will eventually exist and judging from EVE-VP9, it'll likely be a significant improvement over libaom.

Noone measures the performance of the MPEG reference encoders because everyone knows they are absolute rubbish. Yet libvpx or libaom are supposed to be the gold standard, and the entire codec is judged by their performance.
Hypothetically speaking, EVC baseline reads to me as a Royalty free cut down version of HEVC that could replace the current standard which is AVC.
