Will electric cars ever replace gas-powered vehicles?
Yes, electric cars are growing in numbers. However, for several reasons, gas- and diesel-powered vehicles will likely remain dominant for years to come and in the mix for a long time after that.
How long will gas-powered vehicles be around?
Cars last around 15 years, so it will take us to 2050 before we get rid of most of the gasoline-powered cars. Drivers will be willing to wait 10 to 15 minutes to charge their cars so they can drive 200 more miles. But if they have to wait much longer, they will not be happy.
Will gas-powered vehicles become obsolete?
The short answer is no, or at least not in the next couple of decades. There are just too many gas-engine cars on the road, with after-market suppliers and local garages supporting the repair of internal combustion engines. Even so, your next new car could be an EV.
What Year Will cars be all electric?
Every new passenger car sold in the world will be electric by 2040, says Exxon Mobil CEO Darren Woods.
