Based on the current trajectory, experts estimate that the prices of electric vehicles and combustion engine models will align in as little as eight years. According to the study, these developments will result in a global fleet of some 530 million vehicles by 2040. At the same time, the energy required to operate this fleet will also increase accordingly. By 2040, it will reach 1,800 terawatt hours, which constitutes a 5 percent share of the global energy demand. Last year, the global energy demand was six terawatt hours. Additionally, the global battery production, which currently amounts to 90 gigawatt hours, will triple to 270 gigawatt hours in the year 2021, according to researchers’ studies. However, the authors of the study still fear that infrastructure problems could hamper the expansion of electro mobility up until the mid-2030s.
