The statistics show that we have over 1 billion vehicles on
the road worldwide. With an average engine capacity of 50
kW this represents a total power capacity on wheels of
50,000 GW. The total power-system capacity in the world
is only 5,000 GW. So at present we already have 10 times
as much power capacity on the road than totally installed
in our power system.
The next thing is that every year we buy 80 million new
vehicles, with an engine capacity of at least 100 kW. This
represents a total power capacity on the road every year of
8,000 GW. So every year we buy more than 1.5 times power
capacity on wheels then totally installed in our power system.
Within 30 to 40 years the total number of vehicles on the
road is predicted to be 2.5 billion. If the average capacity is
still 100 kW it represents a power capacity of 250,000 GW,
100 times as much as the present installed total electricity
production capacity worldwide.
