Abstract
Due to the increased scarcity and price of petroleum based fuels, electric vehicles (EV's) are becoming a viable alternative to internal combustion engine (ICE) powered automobiles. Due to their present limited performance, electric vehicles can replace only a fraction of present ICE automobiles. A quantitative estimate of the market for EV's over the next ten years is arrived at by considering EV performance levels, automobile driving and buying habits of United States automobile purchasers, and ownership statistics. A maximum market potential for electric automobiles of 30 percent of the new car market in ten years is derived.
