Currently only ~2% percent of vehicles sold are electric. Going to take 10 years just to get to 50% of sales. That's not even including commercial vehicles.

TLDR - it's going to take somewhat longer than that.

Many states and countries have vowed to prohibit ICE sales by either 2030 or 2035. So eventually the choice is gone, but the tech is catching on rapidly anyways, and who wants to be the last person to by an ICE?

It might happen faster in NYC with the nudge from these fines.
