I'm sorry that I gave the impression I know of such numbers. I don't, which is why I never made such a comparison. He made the comparison, the burden of proof is on him, not me. I merely don't believe it, and need the numbers to be shown that I'm incorrect.
All it would take would be to compare the current population to the population of the time cited, then figure in the percentage of car ownership, and the number of actual fuel stations, and of course the number of miles driven. Then compare the number of fuel stations to electrical recharge stations, and the percentage of EV's of the current population. Easy peasy. Oh and, of course, the demographics of car ownership at the time cited compared to the demographics of EV's ownership at the present time.
But, BTW, all this has nothing to do with the reality, or unreality, of the truck that this particular thread is reputedly about.
I guess to make YOU "happy" that's what needs to happen. It is obvious that you have the know how to compile that info for yourself. Why should he bother? I'm happy with his statement and looking at the big picture and taking what he said at Face value and not reading into it that much, I'm HAPPY with his "Flawed" comparison. It's more a hyperbole than anything else, you're reading TOO much into it.
