If we had mass-produced EVs as we have ICE vehicles,and if we held things at 2009 numbers,adding 9,000,000 Ev's a year,it would take until 2043 to replace all light vehicles in the US,and in the meantime,we'd add an additional 32.4-trillion pounds of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.If we pursued additional renewable to charge the EVs all that time.
This would eliminate the carbon from light vehicles.
