Disagree with the conclusion...
EVs require home charging to be convenient (infrastructure of charging stations is not ready and won't be ready in 10y either the way we aren't even fixing potholes), and not everyone has a home.
The grid is not ready, and we still make too much electricity out of dirty means. We should push nuclear but it's a dirty word since Fukushima... I you doubt that, I just lived through PG&E shutdowns of the grid, and I live 17 mi from silicon valley - our grid is an embarassment.
Crap gas cars may eventually become obsolete with the well off, not so much with the poor I'm guessing, but not cool ones, not the ones that go VROOM with a V12 or a flat 6 - they'll be prized possessions from a time when cars were fun and smelled good and you had to drive them, just like horses did not disappear from the planet when cars picked up. It'll take a lot more than 10y to get there IMO, and pretty radical infrastructure changes - I mean, we were supposed to be in flying cars every decade since the 60s ;-)
PS: I own an E-golf - love it. And a 991, because sometimes I need to go further, faster, funner.
