[QUOTE="Fat Boss, post: 16624930, member: 122645"] Well, I'm not expert like all the hacks on here who apparently are experts on everything from voter fraud to vaccine development. But, I think there are two parts to the question. The first is what percentage of cars could be EV's and still meet their daily duty of getting people to work and back- and some shopping or leisure driving on the weekend. I think the number there is far north of 50%. It might even be above 75%. The second is the percentage that can be EV over the 5 to 10 years AND HAVE A GRID TO SUPPORT THEM. That number to me is less than 50% in 5 years, and almost certainly less than 75% in 10 years. But, America is still a free market for the most part. In a free market the power companies (who are in business to sell electricity) are going to invest and upgrade the grid so they can make more money. This is where you want greed. You want companies to invest in the grid, in order to capture the electricity market that is surely coming. There's a lot of economic activity that's going to be required to upgrade the grid. A lot of copper to be mined, a lot of wires to be run, transformers to be upgraded, etc. That's all going to be really good for the economy IMO. The biggest game changer appears to be grid scale storage, or gigantic battery arrays that will take a ton of solar power during the day and save it for when people charge at night and run their AC in the evening. The list of things that will stand in the way of the above starts with producing enough batteries for all these cars. I think the automakers are thinking this through and will have it figured out by the time that they need them, probably in advance if they're learning anything from the current chip shortage.
