On average, after a car rolls off the assembly line, it runs for more than 13 years before reaching its final resting place in the junkyard. This long life cycle means that if we wanted to have every passenger car in America running on electricity by 2050, EVs would need to be nearly 100 percent of auto sales within the next 15 years.
Yes. And that's not ambitious in the slightest. Norway is at over 80% EVs among new cars sold *today* -- so getting there in 15 years should be extremely doable.
But it'll take actually doing something, of course.
