The U.S Energy Information Administration published a study in 2023 looking at EV adoption rates, and maybe this chart will shock you as it did me.

The real problem with electrics is today’s batteries, which are ill-suited for the purpose. If we had a real battery breakthrough that offered a battery without all of the disadvantages of current batteries, electrics might make sense.

That chart is misleading. It probably doesn’t account for government attempts to forcibly get people to give up ICE vehicles. So the market share of EVs as a percentage of new car sales will likely be larger, say 40%. Many people will give up on buying cars in the near future, due to exorbitant costs and regulations on usage. The government wants us to give up ownership of private vehicles, no matter whether they are ICE or EV.
