instead of trying to quantify this statement, let's look at trends and actions in governance (since this is not new)
from the Global Climate Action Summit 2018, convened by CA Gov Jerry Brown:
Every 5 weeks, China adds a fleet of electric buses equivalent to
the entire London bus fleet – 9500 buses. Technologies are now
market ready, societally acceptable and economically attractive to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport by 51% by 2030,
through electric vehicles, mass transit and adapting the global
shipping fleet. A complete global and technological shift to electric
vehicles now looks very likely and, given recent announcements from
cities, countries and car manufacturers, is possible between 2020
and 2030. However, the transformation will slow dramatically without
strong national and city policies, for example setting target dates to
ban internal combustion engines.
