When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

so you're 0.001% of the population. Not sure then why this thread is of interest to you.
I mean, the question is asked for everyone, so he is a data point in the discussion, but obviously just one small data point.
It'll be a long while before every use case can be solved by electric options, even if the market continues to grow significantly
I'm 100% hoping my Kia catches fire in the driveway so I can consider an electric
The thread is a question. I answered the question. It’s also of interest to me because I’m one of the people that installs the chargers. I don’t know who made you the gatekeeper of the EV discussion.
So are these parking spots reserved? Do you just pay with a credit card while charging? Especially the streetside ones I would guess parking spots are at a premium?
Asking because I don't know not trying to argue at all.
I think we’re all just questioning your sanity at this point!
Yeah, the spots are reserved for EVs and they take a credit card to charge up while you shop. They tend to be closer to the storefronts. The ones on my Apt work the same way (I think). The curbside ones seem kind of randomly placed. I don’t have an EV so I don’t know all the ins and outs, it just seems like finding a charger wouldn’t be a huge problem in my neck of the woods.
So my math is wrong? How are we going to go from 20% renewable to 100% by 2035? 26 million a lot different than 120 million.

Electricity Grids Can Handle Electric Vehicles Easily – They Just Need Proper Management
One of the most frequent concerns you will see from electric vehicle haters is that the electricity grid can’t possibly cope with all cars becoming EVs. However, they haven’t done the math properly. The grids in most developed nations will be just fine. Here’s how.www.forbes.com
Why Electric Vehicles Won't Break the Grid
Though conservatives have attacked California officials for asking electric vehicle owners to unplug during a heat wave, experts say more electric cars won’t topple the power gridwww.scientificamerican.com
Yes, the grid can handle EV charging, even when demand spikes » Yale Climate Connections
The flexible timing of vehicle charging can save the day — even during heat waves when electricity consumption surges.yaleclimateconnections.org
I 100% agree, so what is the solution? To me if we want to shutdown fossil fuels nuclear is the only solution
Nuclear fusion has been making some cool breakthroughs recently
Nuclear Fusion Breakthroughs Suggest Limitless Energy is Closer Than Expected
Achieving practical fusion power has been a longstanding challenge... until now.

I think we’re in the 5 digits of MW’s of wind energy production. The estimated full potential is in the 8 digits.
And It doesn’t all have to come at once. Don’t really need a “solution”, just progress over time. The US’s demographics are slowing down. new technology and modified technology comes along. The problem almost solves itself because in a capitalist society companies and individuals are forced to innovate and meet demands if they want to be successful.
With climate change I’m not a fan of creating a bunch of new nuclear facilities. Sure it should be a supplement as it’s proven. But weather and natural events are getting bigger. Bigger tsunamis, bigger hurricanes, bigger earthquakes, bigger floods, bigger droughts (a really unique issue when thinking about nuclear). Nuclear is a technology that comes with huge risks.
I’m not moving near a nuclear power plant any time soon I know that.
Converting gas-powered cars to EVs is a booming business
Converting gas cars to electric is growing in popularity. CNBC explores what it takes to convert an ICE car and whether it could go mainstream.

No way we're 100% renewable by 2035. Perhaps we could be 100% renewable for all new power plants by then.
But there's no reason that should slow the transition to EV. These can be done in parallel. It's not an all or nothing game. Incremental improvements still mean something.
We don't need to shut down anything. It's a gradual transition, at best. It's going to take time and effort. But yes, nuclear energy should really be put back on that table.
