If EVs become way better than ICE by virtue of batteries that suck a lot less and abundant charging infrastructure, then the transition would occur relatively rapidly. It's not like a higher single digit sales figure abroad is indicative of a permanent trend.
The timing isn't right for EVs for most US consumers. There isn't enough battery supply to manufacture them in larger quantities, there isn't adequate charging infrastructure, and batteries are still terrible.
All that said, I'll probably own one in the next couple years because I'm an early adopter and an EV would suit some of my needs well.
