No chance EVs outsell ICE in 10 years. That's 2 model generations away, meaning the currently in development EV, plus 1 more generation. I don't see the Leaf 4.0 outselling ICE vehicles.

In fact, we'll see EV sales plummet for GM this year, taper off for Tesla next year, and the same for Nissan and Toyota the year after that.

There are too many obstacles to overcome to get to 50% in such a short timeframe. 50% of people probably don't even have access to charging at home. I'm in an apt for a few more months, and have no way to charge an EV.
