It's impossible to predict the future. No one can tell you what's going to happen with facts.
Using the same set of facts (current state of the market and regulations), researchers come up with some wildly different projections. That's why you've seen so many different years (as have I).
The real answer is that no one knows.
One thing to note is that India and China have very aggressive electric car requirements. One (or both, I can't remember) of those countries have mandated that all cars be electric by a certain date.
