It’s going to tip a lot faster than that in 2 yrs when EVs are cheaper up front.

New car sales might tip in two years, but that’s a small fraction of cars on the road. The average car on the road is over a decade old.

In fact, if people stop buying non-EV’s entirely, that might eventually slow down EV adoption since existing car owners will be unable to trade in their vehicles to buy EV’s.
