Where do you get 10% from? Not saying that is wrong but seems low.
I was curious awhile ago so ran some numbers:
Spoiler!

Basically we generate 81TWh, and only need ~7TWh additional to cover standard passenger vehicles(if they are as efficent as a model 3, which I assumed would mostly be the case by 2030). We would need more for things like city buses, industrial vehicles etc. Like I said, just some rough numbers to show it isn't totally unattainable.
