"While electric vehicle (EV) sales accounted for 18 percent of the total sales in Europe in July"

Wow, that's amazing. Two more doublings and EVs dominate the market.

"Total EV registrations in Europe jumped from 23,400 sales in July 2019 to 53,200 in 2020"

Two more years like that and we're there...

What kind of time do you expect this to take?

Uhm... have you looked two rows down? :)

Not sure growth will continue at that pace, of course, but we've seen 50-100% annual growth the last couple of years (63% globally 2018).

So... in a few years, perhaps 3-5?

That'll require two more years of CV-related economic destruction then - the only reason EVs are taking that much percentage is because new car sales overall are through the floor.
