The sales predictions are only a guesstimate at best. Sales are certainly up, but that has no bearing on the yearly total sales as compared to vehicles sold, which you conveniently ignore, and aren't at all significant. 
I'm sure EV sales will continue to grow, but its a very small market of people who will buy them - city dwellers and rich people. They are a long way from being practical to the masses and have no traction outside the cities. I see hybrids doing better, but again, price, choice and practicality will be tops for the buyers.
And I'm betting you live in a city? Toronto? That would explain your enthusiasm for EVs. And I think they would work fine there with the proper infrastructure in place.
