. I had been collecting data on the global uptake of electric vehicles since watching an interview with Elon Musk on TED Talks back in 2019. I had mapped, recorded, and extrapolated the data and thought maybe I should do something with it. EVs had been growing consistently at 60% per year and the startling conclusion was that by 2027, most new vehicles being sold would be electric. So, I thought I would write an article.CleanTechnica.
2027 is only four years away. Will the pace of change get faster, as more resources are found and mined, as more battery factories are built, and as more automakers take the plunge into the electric world? Comments on my article saw it going either way. It sounds like the Japanese automakers’ continued approach. But we’ve got way past 3 to 4 million a year. Some also thought that the Osbourne effect would slow people buying into EVs — but I have seen no evidence of that. The news is all about supply constraints.
The next adoption constraint is high-quality, RELIABLE, high-speed charging (based on a casual survey of my ICE-driving friends and family.) Also - charging solutions for apartments and condos.
