Lot of predictions but I think the following graph is on the right track. I also think by 2035 ICE only cars will go out of production and be replaced by various degrees of hybridization. That is also a good time frame for 50% of cars to be BEVs.

EVs won't completely dominate because the world is a great big place and there are lots and lots of places that are hundreds of miles from anything. Places like Baker, NV (Population 68) that is about 300 miles of emptiness North of Vegas. I visited this past year and highly recommend a trip.
If you stay at Baker's Stargazer Inn you can charge your EV for free.

I do know someone who seriously thinks EVs will dominate the roads within 20 years from now. Me.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
