What do you think is going to happen to gas-dependent cars?
Ideally, and most likely. Electric cars will rule the future, but the question is, what do you think will result on this phenomenon? (E.g. gas companies, value of gas-dependent cars, market, etc).
We'll continue to move towards electric vehicles, slowly phasing out gas cars as oil prices go up. But there will remain a niche for gas powered vehicles so long as it takes a long time to recharge. Cross country truckers/drivers for instance. If we had hot-swappable batteries at "gas stations", that would let you swap out batteries to a fully charged one, then we could solve that problem.
That seems pretty likely, do you think the pieces of gas cars will remain however?
Gas cars aren’t going anywhere in the next 10 years. I’m also not sure electric cars “will rule”. We are going to slowly start to transition to them. It’s also very likely that another technology will come and take its place during this time. Another issue with the transition, in the states, is the reluctance of auto manufacturers. Electric cars require a lot of capital and these companies aren’t the most profitable, and the people who run them aren’t necessarily the most forward thinking. Rather thank thinking about gas vs. electric we will start to see a bifurcation in the market based on usage. People who want loud powerful cars will still get them while others will be happy using car sharing/ride sharing services as a replacement to owning a car.
Hopefully all vehicles sold are either Hybrid Plug in hybrid Full ev Within the next six to seven years. I think it's time we force manufacturers to do that via CAFE standards
They’re not going anywhere for decades.
I think diffusion in this era of time is much more obtainable than previously. I have a pretty strong feeling you're wrong, but thanks for your input. ( and I actually mean that)
How so? There’s no way we can afford to replace all our cars with electric cars, and even if we could, there isn’t enough electricity to power them.
