Fun Fact: Did you know the first electric car was made in 1830, and was very popular until around the early 1900's, when it became clear that gas powered cars were far superior in performance, distance and speed
The demand for REE will increase, already we are seeing more and more motorcycles making the change to electric, most public transport is now electric
in Fact in 2015 there were around 50,000 registered EV vehicles in the UK, however in 2018 there are now almost 200,000 registered EV vehicles, a considerable increase of 300% (Source: SMMT, OLEV, DfT Statistics; Analysis: Next Green Car, January 2019)
And it gets better, just look at some of these numbers for the first 6 months of 2018
Among the fastest growing markets for the first 6 months were China (+105 %), Canada (+168 %), The Netherlands (+126 %), South Korea (+169 %), Spain (+99 %,) Finland (+148 %), Denmark (+691 %), Portugal (+119 %) and Australia (+98 %) (Source http://www.ev-volumes.com/country/total-world-plug-in-vehicle-volumes/)
Also take a look at wind turbine statistics, its not hard to see the increase in almost every single country, adding more wind power in 2017 than in previous years (hard to get 2018 stats but feel free to post if you find any)
