Until there is a breakthrough in battery technology the electric car will stay a minority thing and all this "by 2040" stuff reminds me of old tech shows that were convinced we would all be flying around in our cars by the millennium. Electric is the future but not without a breakthrough in the production of it and the practical storage of it the pace will continue to be slow. Nuclear can barely cover the gap in our current energy plans let alone adding tens of millions of car user's putting their cars on charge and as overnight would be the preference you can bet the power company's will bin the traditional low tariff's during the night.

Despite being supposed first world countries we really haven't done very well adapting to advancing technology and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
