The analysis in the EC roadmap concludes that fleet adoption of grid-electric vehicles (PHEVs and EVs) could lead to a cumulative 200,000 units on the road by 2015. In 2009, the EC published its Electrification Roadmap, which proposes that by 2040, 75% of the light-duty vehicle miles traveled in the US should be electric miles.
