The electric vehicle revolution has moved from projection to reality. As more countries follow China's lead, oil demand - once considered immune to disruption - now faces irreversible decline in the transportation sector. If policy and investment continue at pace, the IEA expects 5 to 8 million barrels/day of oil demand could be erased by 2030. Nearly 40% of new cars globally may be electric by that time."
