Nowhere because they just made it up. Half that chart is "projected" demand and since less than 2% of cars on the road today are electric worldwide, and all personal transportation worldwide is only 7.5-10% of oil use depending on who's studies you use, the biggest possible dent EV's could have made so far in global oil demand is around .2%. If we assume I'm off substantially in all my numbers (I'm not), and my estimate is an entire order of magnitude wrong, that's still only 2% which wouldn't show up on this chart.
Nice to see, even with all the efforts the right is doing to block it. Here in Ohio, my gas guzzling SUV is just $75 to renew my tags. My husband's hybrid SUV is $175 to renew because there's a surcharge for driving an energy efficient vehicle. I remember when we used to get tax credits for these kinds of things.
I wonder how much the effect of all the other battery stuff is having. We used to multiple gas weedwackers, blowers, mowers and saws... Now we still have a couple of saws, and one lawnmower that uses gas. We go through a LOT less mixed gas than we did 2-4+ years ago. I'm sure we aren't alone.

This is an attack on the well being of not only Ohio but the world's people.
*edit: By "this" I mean the increase in fees on those who are attempting to reduce the damage.

But how, when so many Reddit geniuses have demonstrated, through memes, that EV’s burn the same amount of oil as gas cars?
