Considering they only generate energy at about 30% of their rated capacity(1), and early electric vehicles(2) like tesla model S can have 100Kwh batteries already, can anyone do the math for the quantity of windmills needed for the volume of cars on the road?

(1) due to unstable winds, minimum start up speeds, maximum outsput caps, and high speed termination to save them breaking.

(2) by early electric vehicles, I mean as battery tech evolves past lithium ion to contain more electrical energy, this question will be even more unrealistic and retarded.

Your question strikes me as odd as those are unrelated things. Wind and solar are both unreliable. Only someone seeking to destroy our power grid is pushing these technologies past 50% saturation. After 50% it will only ever increase energy costs and decrease reliability.

Only nuclear is green and reliable. Meaning nuclear, coal (radioactive waste), and NG are required for grid growth without a significant energy breakthrough. Ignoring that, electric cars will require grid expansion. But it's not a requirement to use wind or solar.

Please show me multiple articles where EV acceptance is entirely dependent upon wind and solar growth.

Derail complete, I'll do the maths myself because apparently uk based businesses constantly pushing for more "green" energy and all car suppliers wanking each other off about their new electric vehicles has gone completely over your head.

If you're not going to bother then go be a jewfag somewhere else.
