...and they're trying to replace them all with electric cars. Good luck with that- or at least, good luck with trying to do that in less than about 100 years. 

There's only about 50yrs of oil left on earth at current production levels, so replacing gas-guzzling cars with electric cars should theoretically be much sooner than that. Also because of massive technological advancements in manufacturing and global distribution.

Yeah been hearing that for the past 40 years. Also that right about now the place I'm sitting at should also be underwater due to melting polar ice caps.

Question- advancements in manufacturing and distribution of what? Power stations?

Technological advancements in automotive manufacturing is reducing production costs and delivery lead times. Thirty years ago, automative plants were 25% automated, today they are more than 75% automated. This has resulted in an increase in factory output of more than 8 times. 

So the expectation is that the electric vehicle revolution will be quicker than the combustion engine revolution.

Let's just hope then that the construction of power stations will also increase by the same factor.

And recharging tech and batteries and their standardization. Just like you don't need to go to a Ford petrol pump to pump gas in your Ford.

Even with Tesla only with their superchargers can charge your car quickly other wise from a normal wall outlet is like over 24hrs 

And most EVs don't have charging connectors that are compatible with others
