> The other effect has to do with energy. Nobody has enough energy to support a full transition to EV's. If every ICE car in the US were replaced with an EV driven the same distance per year we would need about 20% more electricity. Raising US electricity production 20% over a 10 or 20 year transition to nearly all EVs doesn't seem to be unreasonable. Note that this does not mean that the US would need to produce 20% more energy. As ICE vehicles are replaced with EVs the oil that would have been refined into gasoline for those ICEs could instead be used for electricity production.
