How long before everyone is driving an electric car?
I keep hearing about incentives and pushes for people to drive electric, but I’m wondering how long until everyone, or at least most people are driving an electric car?

The amount of time it takes for everyone to drive an electric car really now depends on the switchover from non-EV drivers to EV drivers. There is no set time, only projections of how long this process will take.
An article by the New York Times shows that despite the fact that many automakers are switching to EV only fleets by 2035, only 13% of the cars on the road will be electric. This is because regardless of how many EVs are made if none are purchased and gas vehicles are still in good condition, the market will be at a standstill.
In order to meet President How Biden’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, the New York Times suggests that all gas-powered car sales would have to end in 2035. Determining how to fight climate change without letting the auto and related industries take a huge hit, can be an awkward balance act.
While we may never get everyone on the road to drive an electric car, having a majority, especially in the transportation industries, would certainly be helpful.
