It will happen, but I think it will take longer than 8 years. There will be a "peak gas" so to speak not due to limited supply but because so many people will be driving electric that the price for fuel will keep climbing due to limited market.

The problem as to why I don't think it will happen so soon, is there is still a shitload of oil out there, countries like Saudi Arabia and the other oil giants will end up dumping their reserves trying to get as much money out as they can. This will drive the price low for a short time come back..

IMO at the earliest is 10 years out but my guess is the 15-20 year range..

I've been researching DIY electric cars.. Now that people are successfully building their own telsa style battery packs, the DIY electric car community is really taking off.
