Exactly. Google searches of available data say there are 275 million registered cars in the US right now, and about 2.3 million of them are EV's. EV's are less than 1% That's your current starting point.

It's going to take a long time for those 275M cars to run out their remaining lives and become decommissioned. Even if we went cold turkey on ICE sales right now, that fact doesn't change. Add to that that ICE sales are still leading EV's by more than 13:1 will prolong that process.
