Analysis: EVs will top two-thirds of global car sales by 2030

https://www.greencarreports.com/news...-sales-by-2030

EV sales will accelerate rapidly over the next few years, topping two-thirds of global car sales by 2030, the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) predicts.

In research presented ahead of Climate Week NYC, analysts predict that EV sales will increase at least sixfold by 2030 to a market share of 62% to 86% of new car sales. In China, the world's largest new car market, RMI predicts that EVs could make up 90% of new vehicle sales by the end of the decade.

RMI highlights several factors supporting explosive EV sales growth, including acceleration of EV sales in "late-adopting" countries with robust new car sales, such as India and Israel.

Another potential factor is a decline in sales of internal-combustion cars. Analysts determined that sales of new internal-combustion cars peaked in 2017, and predict that these cars will be scrapped more rapidly in the coming years.

RMI expects battery costs to halve this decade, from $151 per kwh to between $60 and $90 per kwh by 2030. As prices decrease, the purchase price of a new EV will fall below that of an equivalent gasoline or diesel car as early as 2024 in Europe, and 2025 in China. The analysis suggests U.S.-market EVs will achieve price parity in 2026 for large vehicles and 2029 for small ones.

The accelerated EV adoption suggested by this analysis will likely work against the oil industry. RMI previously forecast production effectively dropping to near zero after the 2040s.

How Many Gasoline Cars Catch Fire Every Year?

There are an estimated 284,130 gasoline cars that catch fire every year

You may be surprised to learn how many gasoline cars catch fire each year. According to our analysis of data found in the National Fire Protection Association, Reuters, and U.S. fire departments, there are an estimated 284,130 gasoline cars that catch fire every year.

These vehicle fires account for an estimated 480 deaths, 1,525 injuries, and $1.3 billion in property damage annually in the United States.

Biden’s Plan To Force Americans Into EVs Is Under Fire From All Sides[/B]

The plan is the 90% of the cars are going away, to include all private ownership...so this might not be a big problem.

No such plan. A day without a conspiracy for you is a day without sunshine. However, most vehicles on the road are big fat SUVs and obese pickup trucks.EVs are not heavier than the typical ICE. The average vehicle weighs 4329 lbs. https://insurify.com/car-insurance/k...enger%20safety.

Abandoned EV's that can't find a buyer in China...



Why are Americans less interested in owning an EV? Cost and charging still play a part.

Typical misinformation from the far right. Too bad for them this info can be quickly debunked.

I don't know, but she's correct. The "context added" tosses in SUV's and light trucks obviously. EV cars are heavier then ICE cars. If and when EV SUV and light trucks hit the market they too will be heavier than their ICE counterparts.

For example, the F-150 Lightening is 6,500 lbs. which is about 900 lbs. --call it half-a-ton--heavier than the F-150 ICE truck.

EVs are much heavier than their ICE counterparts, dude.

EV cars can even weigh as much or more than an ICE truck does. E.g. a Tesla Model S Plaid weighs as much as the lightest configuration of a Dodge Ram 1500. The Tesla is a full size sedan. The Dodge is a full size pickup truck.

Yeah, I'm glad I don't have to haul around 15 gallons of highly flammable and explosive liquid in my EV like gas car drivers do.

Q: Republicans like the former president, who is going to be in Michigan tomorrow, have suggested the administration’s policies on EVs will benefit China. There’s been some criticism from other Republicans about the lack of requirements around the foreign components in commercial vehicles under the IRA. What do you make of those criticisms and how do you respond to them?

JG: They are lying. The past administration spent a long time talking about China and jobs going to China and they did nothing about it. Not once did they make any investments in, for instance, our domestic critical mineral capacity. Under President Biden, we are making awards to a variety of companies across the country who are really trying to invest in a reliable supply chain that includes capacity here at home. Under President Biden, we are actually choosing to invest in our ability to produce batteries here that are important for electric vehicles but also batteries that are also important for other sorts of clean energy that are going to be critical to the energy future.
We’re making the investments and you see it in the data. You see it in real construction spending on these facilities, you see it in our broader foreign direct investment flows in which business isn’t going to other countries like it was under the last administration. We’re seeing investment flows come into the United States and create good-paying jobs here at home. So you can see hard evidence that the president is making the right choice here. Meanwhile, the Republican criticism is coming from a place of no action whatsoever. It’s just all talk.
