The other flip side is the delta change to demand in relation to electricity cost.
If you calculate the number of gallons of various hydrocarbon fuels being used / day, then broke down the energy content to energy conversion you would have a, within a given percentage of error, a required energy replacement value.
You can then take average electrical energy production, from various sources, (ie, solar, wind, water, coal, etc) and track energy loss to consumer from source by mile. It’s a complex calculation, but on average electricity has a production to network loss of 70-85%. That’s not even factoring in energy conversion losses of the EV in question, which, as of right now, is at best, & I mean absolute best, of 60%.
Now factor in durability & increase demand to match the initial energy demand & you will come to an astronomical number that would require a) huge gains in electrical transmission & conversion efficiency, & b) massive per-capita investment in production capability.
