The increase in energy consumption globally is still bigger than the increase of energy production from renewables. When this happens, hopefully soon, we will start seing reductions in fossil fuel, and especially oil, cosumption. The adoption of EVs will increase further as soon as bettery cosy falls further, wich is expected in the next few years due to increased supply of lithium and thecnologiasl breakthroughs in EV energy mangement

Lets cross our fingers

Can't wait for that!

EVs will become more and more cheap, infrastructure will increase and everybody will benefit from that.

Soon, internal combustion cars will become an old, stupid thing of the past.
