Don't get in to big of a hurry. The electrical grids currently in use around the world are in many cases already maxed out. Replacing the petrol engine with the electric engine running off batteries will greatly increase demand for electricity and will require a huge investment in new electrical lines, (eg the electrical grid). The new lines will need to be laid between major metropolitan area so new power plants running on solar, wind, natural gas, coal, petrol, water, and other type of energy can connect to them as an outlet for their electricity. A single electrical line of a given dimension can only carry a finite amount of electricity before it's full. Once a line is full, an addition line must be laid to increase capacity. It could take decade to make the transition in any significant way to the electric cars, and the electric motor is not well suited to transport by air, ship, rail, and 18 wheelers that do the heavy lifting in commercial transportation of goods to the consumer, which is the heart and life blood of an economy. I don't see a total transition to the electric car. I think the electric car will become just another option like petrol or diesel cars.
