How much longer will gas cars 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.
Are gas cars going to be obsolete?
Ethanol-gasoline blends have a shorter shelf life of two to three months. Fuel stabilized gasoline can last between one and three years under optimal conditions. Gas stored in a car tank begins to degrade in just about a month.
How long until gas is obsolete?
You will still be able to get gas at local gas stations after 2035 though electric cars will start to be the norm. However, many gas stations may close as they will lose revenue. Pivoting into becoming a charging station is costly and may not be possible for small independent gas stations.
