Electric Vehicles Are Overwhelmingly More Energy Efficient
&gt; Bloomberg NEF forecasts sales of electric passenger vehicles ... to overtake sales of those running solely on internal combustion engines in 2038.<p>Perhaps I am naive, but I would be surprised if it takes that long.<p>There are so many obvious benefits* to electric cars that the only thing holding them back from Mass adoption (IMHO) is the price of batteries. With such significant investments being made, and such steady progress being made, it is hard for me to imagine it will take almost 20 years to get to this point.<p>* Yes, range anxiety, cold weather&#x27;s affect on performance and lack of charging infrastructure are all problems, but they start going away when cheaper batteries make electric cars cheaper to own&#x2F;run, and more cars are on the road to justify businesses to start installing charge stations in carparks.
