15 years away, new car sales only, the average age of cars on the road is currently at 12 years. The change is happening now and gradually and 15 from now a huge part of the cars on the road will still be ICE.
Roughly 270 million registered cars in the U.S. and about 17 million produced each year. Not difficult to see that even if all vehicles produced today were electric it would take a really long time to get even 50% of the population electric. Don't forget the proposal goes into effect in 15 years.
