Bloomberg recently released reports that nearly 80 percent of the global auto market is pushing toward phase-out of petroleum cars and adoption of electric vehicles.

Their article suggests that EV sales will overtake internal combustion engines in just over 20 years - sooner than some governments & companies expected!


When do you think EV sales will overtake the internal combustion engine - do these estimates seem possible?

20 years sounds about right to me. It all depends on how battery technology advances. But I think we've passed the tipping point where increasing demand and profit potential feeds accelerated research in a virtuous cycle.
 
I am not in favor of a ban so much as taxing petrol fueled light vehicles.
Registration fee needs to stop going down each year and start going up.
