    Norway’s 92% of cars sold in July -24 proves it is not only possible, but also realistic. It’s been done.

      According to the sales data I can find Norway has about 130,000 new car sales a year. That’s about 1/4th of California’s 35% goal.

      California is much higher scale and that was the point of my post.

        Yeah, I got that. And the point of my post was that expecting and planning for a 35% share is neither unreasonable nor impossible. The “impossible” part is on Toyota, not California.

        The UK and Germany are both at about 25% EV adoption, as per news here the last days. That’s a combined market about half the size of the USA. That seems to work out rather well in terms of supply.

        Unless of course, we exclude all non-american car makers in the world. And that’s the issue, isn’t it?
