This graphic is a nice summary. If China continues its growth with EVs, they could reach >90% by 2030 or even earlier.

Can’t legacy automakers see data like this? Are they not global conglomerates? Do they not want a future?

At least here in the US, the legacy automakers still seem to be pushing back that EVs will ever happen. I don’t understand how they can’t see that EVs already have happened in many places and even here it’s a matter of time. The current trade wars and tariffs seem to be giving them some breathing room, but they’re just using it for more short term profit rather than do anything about their future amidst technology change. They still seem to be putting more into lobbying that EVs are impossible, rather than make any

Is your country ready to tell gas vehicle owners that they have to join a lottery for a slim chance to buy a numberplate that allows them to drive the non-electric car? Because that's what China needed to do to drive the EV sales (which has the dual benefit of cleaning up the air in their cities, and making them the leading exporter of new cars)

Norway managed to do it with good infrastructure rollout and tax incentives, and they don't even have the parallel goal of trying to build a domestic EV manufacturing industry

And what tyrannical move did the EU pull to get double the EV adoption rate?
