If you're reading this, chances are you don't need to be convinced that electric cars (especially Teslas) are the future. However, most of us often find ourselves having to explain what's going on to less-enlightened friends, co-workers and relations. For those who read about electric vehicles only in the mainstream press, it's easy to get the idea that they still "may not catch on," or to become concerned about imaginary bugaboos like lithium shortages, exploding batteries, etc.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and a new infographic from Title Pro (see below), a company that offers auto loans online, depicts the accelerating rise of e-mobility in an attractive and fun chart that's easy to understand. If you don't have the patience to educate your EV-clueless acquaintances, you could do worse than to show them this infographic.

Those who are just starting to learn about electric driving often fail to understand that the current generation of EVs has been evolving for a decade, and that electrification is not a US-only phenomenon but is, in fact, proceeding at a faster pace in Europe and in China's colossal auto market. Most people also aren't aware of the large number of plug-in models available. This infographic covers all these bases, weaving a timeline of mobility milestones through a set of charts depicting the geographic spread of EVs and the top models on sale in the US.
