So it is not going to happen. At least not on the scale or the timeline that has been proposed.

And a November 16, 2022 article, ‘Magic Cars’ by John Stossel:

Excerpts from the article:
“Batteries are lousy at storing large amounts of energy. Batteries leak, and they don't hold a lot," says physicist Mark Mills.
“Mills thinks electric cars are great but explains that "oil begins with a huge advantage: 5,000% more energy in it per pound. Electric car batteries weigh 1,000 pounds. Those 1,000 pounds replace just 80 pounds of gasoline."
“Engineers are really good at making things better," Mills responds, "but they can't make them better than the laws of physics permit."
“Because nature is not nice to humans," explains Mills, "we store energy for when it's cold or really hot. People who imagine an energy transition want to build windmills and solar panels and store all that energy in batteries. But if you do the arithmetic, you find you'd need to build about a hundred trillion dollars' worth of batteries to store the same amount of energy that Europe has in storage now for this winter. It would take the world's battery factories 400 years to manufacture that many batteries."
“Politicians don't mention that when they promise every car will be electric. They also don't mention that the electric grid is limited.”
“This summer, California officials were so worried about blackouts they asked electric vehicle owners to stop charging cars!”
“Roughly speaking, you have to double your electric grid to move the energy out of gasoline into the electric sector," says Mills. "No one is planning to double the electric grid, so they'll be rationing."
“Rationing. That means some places will simply turn off some of the power. That's our final inconvenient fact: We just don't have enough electricity for all electric cars.
Worse, if (as many activists and politicians propose) we try to get that electricity from 100% renewable sources, the rationing would be deadly.”
"Even if you cover the entire continent of the United States with solar panels, you wouldn't supply half of America's electricity," Mills points out.”
“Even if you added "Washington Monument-sized wind turbines spread over an area six times greater than the state of New York, that wouldn't be enough."
This is just math and physics. It's amazing supposedly responsible people promote impossible fantasies.”
"It's been an extraordinary accomplishment of propaganda," complains Mills, "almost infantile ... distressing because it's so silly."
“Even if people invent much better cars, wind turbines, solar panels, power lines and batteries, explains Mills, "you're still drilling things, digging up stuff. You're still building machines that wear out ... It's not magical transformation."
