A key figure for gauging transition would be the hourly | daily kW equivilent of petrol|gasoline|fossil fuel consumption for a 'medium' city of (say) 1 million population.
How much additional electricity generation is required to replace petrol consumption (asuming electric cars, etc).
Related figures are what tonnages of "final" LFP batteries does that imply, and what tonnages of raw material mined, concentrated, and processed does that imply.
That kind of ballpark gives a feel for scaling out to larger country wide populations (along with variation on personal transport usage by city|country).
