We’re probably underestimating how quickly electric vehicles will disrupt the oil market - Vox

'Yet it is maddeningly difficult to predict the future; forecasts for the EV market are all over the place. '

'How much market share EVs take from oil (gasoline is by far the most common use for oil in the US) will matter a great deal. '

'The rate of EV growth will have huge implications for oil markets, auto markets, and electric utilities. '

'As Cohan notes, however, others are more optimistic:Projections for EV growth feed into projections for oil demand. '

'A 10 percent loss in market share was enough to send the US coal industry spiraling, enough to cause Europe’s utilities to hemorrhage money. '
