Will the electric car destroy petrol car?
There is major portion of society which will not afford the electric car. I think the electric car will make comport in our lives but there is a space available for petrol car also. Petrol is also a powerful fuel which are mostly consuming in machines.

   Dear, the new technology will reduce the cost of production, as before we Chinese people can not afford to use mobile phones, and now even the children are using smart phones

We all know that the main disadvantage with the electric car lies in the expenses. The capital cost and maintenance for electric cars are much higher when compared to diesel or petrol cars of similar configuration. Another major issue is the battery replacement, which will cost you a fortune every 3-4 years.

yeah，
New materials and electromagnetic technology or will make the cost of unimaginable, mankind will eventually get rid of the shackles of gasoline

Britain’s car industry has warned that the government’s proposed ban on sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2040 risks damaging the industry and stalling sales of new cars.
Mike Hawes, chief of executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders trade body, said that carmakers were working with ministers on the switch to electric cars but called for the government to use carrots rather than sticks.

Absolutely yes , Electric car will replace today's environmentally hazardous car. According to me, This replacement will save many of the creatures from becoming extinct. Electric car one of the best invention of our era.

to economically may be able to compete with gasoline. but for performance may still not be able to compete. it takes time to do research in advanced electric car engine technology, certainly will be very good news and interest by many people.but if that happens, maybe the price of gasoline will decrease because it's a bit of wear and will make the price of oil drastically decreased. it will make the company go bankrupt. but very good at least the use of gas for backup in the future. it all depends on your decision in choosing for an economical price

no electrical car reduce sufficient supply of electricity and its price also high  for that reason people can't effort to buy and use them ...

Depends from the minimal price they can afford to make it if we are talking about world wide price. Price in America which is "cheap" is 35k $ for Tesla. But in some other countries 35k $ is a lot. You can buy house and live more then 10 years with that amount of money(yea i get it inflation). In some countries you can buy petrol cars(NEW) for 7k $ and they are really economical in therms of fuel usage(5l per 100km). If they manage to make electrical car < 7k $ . And everyone can afford it maybe it will WIN. But there is a long way to till we come to that point.

Lithium ion battery cars can compete with gasoline cars when gas prices are above about $2 per gallon, but if gas prices go below that then they're losing money. That's with fairly light short range cars too. Other countries allow high efficiency diesel cars on their roads which adds even more competition to electric cars. Diesels cost less than 2/3 to operate that gasoline and the engines with manual transmissions last a very long time. A lot of it depends on city versus highway driving too. Electric cars show most of their advantage in low speed city traffic.

If a car gets 30MPG, it uses 1/30th of a gallon per mile. At $2.50 gas, that's $0.08333 per mile. After 150,000 miles, that's $12,500 in fuel.

150,000 is probably a high estimate, but electric car like the Tesla or the Chevy volt might do 150,000 miles before battery replacement is needed. The replacement for such a battery is over $10,000 I believe. Currently these batteries are being replaced under warranty so the exact cost is difficult to know.

The Nissan Leaf does about 70 miles on a charge, and assuming a cycle life of a bit over 1000 charges, that's about 70,000 miles and a new battery is around $5000.

So you're not really gaining much with gas prices under $3 per gallon using lithium ion. There are lithium iron phosphate cells that have twice the cycle life and a bit less capacity, but I don't think they're currently being used in any electric cars. You also have little heat and air conditioning available in an electric car if you want to have maximum range. They could probably add a propane or heating oil heater to the car though.

I didn't account for maintenance like oil changes on engine powered cars, but I didn't account for electricity costs for electric cars either.

I used to think it would be impossible for electric cars to truly replace petrol cars mostly because of the debilitating limitations of electric cards. Then Tesla arrived in the picture to prove me wrong. Seriously, it's ridiculous how they're so far ahead of their competitors. Every car will be like Tesla in the future.

One of the things that will impede the electric market is scalability. The electrical grid can handle the current load put on it by electric cars but as more are sold major upgrades will need to be made. Consumers will get stuck with the bill and that will create push-back against electric cars.

Also gasoline and diesel fuel provide a lot of tax revenue. Somehow governments will have to raise money they lose in gasoline and diesel taxes. Politically it might be easier for government to discourage electric usage then to enact new taxes to make up for lost gas taxes.

Finally if electric cars start to reduce oil prices it will make gasoline and diesel cars cheaper to operate discouraging further electric car adoption.

It is evident that in the light of the fraud of the various manufacturers, particularly Volswagen concerning the emissions of fine particles, the future will want to decentralize the production of energy.

Again, the notion of decentralization plays, rather than having all the means in the production car, an electric recharge and the case is made.

The problem still comes from batteries. Harsh to recycle, but also relative low efficiency times.

Inevitably we will evolve in the right direction, but an electric car does not mean clean. Energy is necessarily produced somewhere. Are these power stations cleaner than their FUEL equivalent? There is the question.

Trams already work like this

The world oil mafia have been making sure a thing like that wouldn't happen. And they will continue to do their best. It's hard to imagine what it would take to really be able to fight them on this and win... Even if it happens and russians, arabs and corporations all over the world are somehow made to lose, it will take dozens of years. Am I too sceptical, though??

I think that we can make a change or initiate a change in how we do our transportation. Yes, there is a strong case and call for greener living but scientists are also concerned on how people are getting caught up with green energy that we do more harm to the environment by pushing for its creation.

If so then why are golf carts so horrible?

In short yes, it may take some time to reduce the cost of the battery technology but it's advancing quickly already. Some manufacturers such as Volvo will stop making petrol cars by as soon as 2019. Norway is banning all petrol cars from 2025 and a number of other European countries are working towards similar goals.

With the temperature of the world getting higher and higher each day, switching from the fossil fuel powered cars to the electric car is the only to go or we will be dooming ourselves and the next generation if we don't do something about it . China has already said that they will be transitioning from gas powered cars to electric cars which in my opinion is good for the entire world, I hope other countries follow suit as well.

The only thing that limits electric cars is the batteries, or the cost of batteries, and that's how it has always been.

People are so uninformed when they say that electric motor technology needs to improve. It improved in the 70s to 90s with solid state variable speed drives, but even that is a small issue. Brushed motors worked just fine bofer that.

This is a major disadvantage with electric cars. And the 500 km range is available only with the Tesla cars. The other electric cars are having a range of 150 km to 300 km, depending on the battery capacity. It can take up to 8 hours to fully charge the battery and it needs replacement every 3-4 years. These are some of the most important things which convinces people not to buy an electric car.

You can get 12kW out of an electric range outlet. That will charge the biggest Tesla in less than 8 hours. It'll also cost typically $8 in the US for those 8 hours.

Total nonsense, as long as most cities power plants are run on coal. You are essentially just burning coal in your "electric car."

So long as electric cars are much more environmentally friendly than petrol i would totally wish it would. I watched a documentary a few years back about electric cars. That time there wasn't much charging stations and the cars themselves are slow. But i do hope we can make this and let the petrol be outdated

I really really hope they do because petrol has caused soo many problems in human history. It is the cause of war, famine, and overall dictatorships in this world. We need to get to a more earth friendly, people friendly solution

and I think the electric car solves a lot of that. It is a great solution to a problem that we have had for nearly one hundred years. About time I say, well done whoever created this idea!

I think electric cars will destroy the petrol cars.

As what happened in mobile phone market, if it is more useful, it will soon overtake the market.
And electric cars have some strong points.

Easy to make, eco friendly, quiet.

And its demerits are getting fewer and fewer.
Charge, battery.


Thus, I think it is going to take the market.

I'll have to visit that huge flat lithium salt area in Bolivia (or close) before it gets converted in to electric car batteries.

Maybe maybe oil prices will come down and $10,000+ lithium battery bank replacements will make people realize that they aren't saving money in many situations with electric cars and this fad dies. Then then the electric car will contiue to be just a rich man's toy that performs well, just like a car that takes 93 octane fuel that gets 8MPG.

Lately there is a much talk about electric cars and their preformances and their economic effect. I dont know maybe I am old fashioned but It is maybe not only about driving car but there is something else in the car. I like oldtimers and everything abour cars. But can you imagine BMW car on electric power? I really cant beacuse there is something in petrol smell and how the car sounds when you push that gas pedal. It is like orgasm.

"Oil is not fuel. You can also sink money with banknotes" Mendeleev

The Oil companies are probably some of the biggest companies and have the deepest pockets. They are also known for being able to influence political decisions (along with the Defence manufacturers as in the Iran, Iraq wars). So yeah, its going to be really difficult to completely sideline them.
I don't see a major change unless somehow they move there humungous funds to generating non-renewable energy and decide that its more profitable for them to push electric cars to have a market for that energy being generated. That'd be glorious to have.

It would be great if it happens. Maybe after years...
What best electric car now? Tesla?
I also listen a lot about Nissan

science and engineering increasingly developed. human society advanced, so in the future an electric car will probably replace a car to reduce pollution of the environment make human life more civilized. I hopes that happens in most recent time.

Given enough time, probably.  Though even if it becomes the major mode of transportation in the first world, the third world like it always does will lag behind and it will take a really long time before the entire world switches over.

i hope sure, it is time to go in a right path.

Electric cars are supposed to use a lot less fossil fuels to operate and therefore we can say that they are much more environmentally friendly than the petrol cars. But at the same time, we need to remember two important factors. First is the source of electricity. If the power is sourced from thermal power-plants, the the effect is reduced. Also, you need to remember that the battery needs replacement every 2-3 years.

I think is not destroy but replace petrol in slowly. the electric car is very environmentally friendly, in some developed countries have started banal electric vehicles, I believe the future will replace gasoline vehicles. We must preserve our environment for future generations.

Compared with cars with internal combustion (IC) engines, electric cars are quieter and have no tailpipe emissions. When recharged by low-emission electrical power sources, electric vehicles can reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to IC engines. Where oil is imported, use of electric vehicles can reduce imports.

I think what the topic starter saying is destroying the industry of petrol cars, and i belive this is true with all what is happening on our planet right now, the signs and evidence that climate change is true, someday we will get rid of the fossil fuel as a source of energy soon enough we will realize that renewable energy are better.

Effect is reduced????

There is no way that efficiency of this..

A) coal burning ---> transmission lines ---> Li batteries ---> electric motors

will equal this ...

B) gasoline ---> car engine ---> car moves

There isn't anything "good" or "green" about A.

Face it.

It will not completely destroy petrol car but I'm sure the petroleum market and countries who depends on it will surely take a massive blow that will kill many jobs and companies.

Electric car cant destroy petrol car i will never ever happen
because It expensive
it has Risk
it cant be so much effort-able
it reduce the capacity of electricity
it has restriction not for every one
it cant be long lasting like petrol in lieu  of  mechanical performance

petrol help to increase sustainability machine but electricity cant provide like petrol ....

We can hope, would solve a lot of pollution problems.

The same thing with bitcoin and regular money :)
I think electro cars will be more popilar in the future

i think it will destroy petrol car in future. nowadays petrol consumption is very high so it may be possible.

They have different niches. If it was world wide trend for electric cars then maybe. There many countries that will use gasoline cars for very long time because of the big busineses. Big busineses are can be much slower in big changes.

Looking from the sustainability end, you will realise that electric cars are an upgrade on the petrol/diesel engine car but will should not forget these batteries will have to use a long lasting charge medium and preferably Lithium, which is also not environmental friendly. Maybe the cut down in gasoline will enhance the mitigation of global warming. Maybe it will not but lithium is also as environmentally friendly either

Until now, oil-fueled cars are still a mainstay, because with fuel that is easily obtainable, until now oil-fueled cars are still issuing the latest version.
Electric cars are still heavily adapted to climatic and fueled  his latest for speed

If it can be sold for a lot cheaper price, then probably. Electric cars liks the one by tesla is crazily expensive and people would probably take time to get used to it first. But i like the idea of a future running on electric cars

The petrol diesels will always be able to run off sunflower oil... or hemp oil.

8)

petrol car will be decrease but cannot be replace as a whole !
we can reduce the pollution and have our ozone layer safer. but will elctric car can be used for the long run and what will be its power of speed ?  at max?

At the moment, the electric cars are very expensive because at the moment not a lot of car manufacturers are involved in making those electric cars, once the major car makers decide to do that, it's price is going to drop and it will crush it's competition.

Maybe someday it might happen.Oil on earth is limited and also because of petrol car there are so many pollution going around the world.It is really harmful.So sooner or later electric car will take over petrol car.

When that idea of ​​a phone without keys would be crazy and now we can not imagine life without them. All technologies change and the patrol cars will destroyed

There can be many future scenarios, but I don't think that gasoline driven vehicles are going to last forever. The number of electric cars on the road are increasing with every passing year, and the technology is also getting more sophisticated. Another scenario is that of the bio-diesel, hydrogen, and ethyl alcohol replacing gasoline.

yes. electric car will definitely replace the petrol car.because electric car is more efficient than petrol car(26%) and as well petrol car harm our environment because of knocking,moreover we can produce electricity but not petrol so petrol reserve will one day finish,so then we have to depend on electric car,we can use electric car by not harming the environment.

The worlds economy depends on oil, so I think electric cars will not replace the petrol anytime soon.  There will be a huge increase in using electric vehicles, but replacing the conventional one is not possible.  Thanks

The only thing that prevents electric cars from becoming popular is the huge expenses involved with the battery and the inverter. But the technology is progressing rapidly and a lot of researchers are now working on new battery technology. It is just a matter of time before a breakthrough is achieved. And once that happens, crude oil will become cheaper than drinking water.

Too true! When a new technology is just released it would be hell of expensive. But give it a few years for china to actually study the tech to replicate it and improve it for less then the said new tech will be able attainable for the masses. Electric cars will be great. But will the oil industry focused countries let it happen will be a different matter. With the amount of money these country have, they could easily buy the technology and kill it right then and there

Yes, in all likelihood the electric car will replace the petrol car. How long it will take, is the more accurate question. How long until the batteries on the main market are small enough, powerful enough, and eco friendly enough to force the switch.

That’s exactly right but if the governments will give funds for the driver to afford electic vehicle in our country then it will be a big help for a lot of drivers because they won’t be dealing with the gas problem in the world.

I deeply believe that there will be found a safe and economical way to refuse from using petrol cars, maybe not in favor for electrical but on some other source of energy

nowaday, electric power using alternative resources like wind and solar are getting more and more popular, that the reason while electric car is getting more popular, so i think in the future, they may replace petrol which is using fossil fuel.

Petrol has limit in the world and petrol cars are not useful for clean world and its damage the world because of electiric cars term will start and people will not use petrol cars in the next 10 years.

now that the problem of the world is global warming. i think they will replace the petrol with electricity so the pollution will reduce. this is what the government want but the fund and the cars that driving in every high way will not be replace as soon as possible they need much time and fund

Yes, eventually. As I know the world will run out of oil in about 100 years. So, oil prices in about 50 years will go high and having electric car will be less expensive. Nowadays Tesla is some kind of expensive toy, but in nearest future it will be the most popular car. Trust me.

as we know the production of fuel-fueled cars is still a lot, human needs of the car as a tool of mobility is still high.
technological progress is growing, the creation of electric cars has begun to be developed even though not in mass production because of the production cost of an electric car is also very expensive.
I think electric cars will not kill petrol cars for now, because they are all based on the users of the car itself, they certainly buy cars according to their financial circumstances and based on their tastes, there are still many people choose petrol cars instead of electric cars that have not been maximally developed .

I don't think so. If we talk about whole world. Because there are countries which are facing electricity shortage problem. So how can they afford this. It can destroy in some countries but not right now it will take some time.
There are some other issues as well. for example
If this car is exported to a third world country then what will be it's future? That country will not have expert mechanic and other related tools as well for the maintenance. So if someone got problem in car then customer can just wait for months. Because local vendor will ask customer that we have to import this part of engine or car. It will take minimum 6 to 8 weeks.
Other thing is long route problem. Will it be able to cover 1000km or more in one go. Obviously company will be working on it but customers also needs some time to get use to it.
 

Of course gradually superseded. I'll buy the next car - 100% only on electricity! By the way, the first in the history of car racing were among electric cars!

The petrol engine will definitely discontinued. Only it does not mean that it will be supplanted by electric cars. I do not see much progress in the modernization of existing batteries. This makes the cost of operation of electric vehicles is comparable to gasoline engine. More problems no effect. Perhaps evolution will go the way of the introduction of another fuel, but I don't know yet.

In the long term the electric car will surely replace the petrol car. That's just because oil will finish. But in the long term I think the car itself is set to disappear, at least for private and personal use. It is just not a rational way to move your body in space.

The battery of a Tesla car costs around $30,000 and it needs to be replaced every 5 years or so. The battery is the single most expensive component in the electric car. And despite all the scientific and technological progress, we have failed in bringing down the costs associated with the electric car battery. This is what prevents large-scale replacement of petrol cars by the electric cars.

Modern technologies has made the world become better now, today, we are using alternatives sources of energy to replace fossil fuel for eclectricity more and more like wind, solar, nuclear energy,... so maybe one day, all of us will use electric car to replace petrol car.

Hmmm, can you provide a link for us to read where you saw the costs of such car?

i think there would be other companies that can lower it since tesla made the battery it is expected that its expensive

yes definitely . it will gonna happen in near future. world changes all the time. so nothing is certain. lets see what is gonna happen.

currently in my country, the infrastructure to replace petrol cars with electric cars is still not adequate.

No, electric cars will be more and more but petrol cars will not reduce production. For now petrol cars are still more because in addition to the amount of production more, the price is also cheaper. While electric cars for the current production is still limited and the price is also more expensive. Although for example the production of electric cars already as much as petrol cars, the expensive price can be a consideration of the buyers.

If only more people will get serious in supporting electric cars, I think it really has great potential. Our planet's fuel is getting consumed faster than the time it needs to be recreated thus we really have to try finding other alternative source of energy. If we can only revolutionize solar, water and electric powered devices like cars, then we wont have to deplete the earth's resources.

Electric cars replacing petroleum cars will be a big help for everyone because it will be easier to afford rather than buying gas which is getting higher everytime. It would be easy to charge because electricity is everywhere.

if there is a chance to replace the petrol cars with electric ones, i think it may happen but only until something more ecology-friendly is invented.

i'm afraid there is no chance the humanity will actually use anything eco-friendly just to save the nature. we all do so to some extend but only if it's ''budget-friendly''. i mean we recycle and reduce the amount of water, for example, but we definetely won't buy an electric car as it's much more expensive.

it is depend on the car batty and it replacement cost. may be in the future electric cars will destroy petrol car because of zero emission.

base on my own opinion it can really destroy petrol car, imagine if people can afford electric car, petrol car will slowly die.

The development of environment friendly electric or solar products was slowed down due to the influence of petroleum and oil businessmen. But when we have visionaries like Elon Musk we can hope for a better future. I am sure that when electric cars become affordable to the middle class people then it will destroy the petrol cars. Who would want petrol cars when we have better option.

Definitely ..... Battery powered cars will soon be cheaper to buy than conventional gasoline ones.

Affordability is the biggest challenge. Isn't it? Why should anyone spend $100,000 on a Tesla car, when a Toyota or Fiat with the same specifications can be obtained for under $20,000? Environmental protection is fine. But it should be affordable as well.

You probably would like to say something, then I agree. This is in the first place environmentally friendly, and secondly, much cheaper. I would have bought such a car if it were not for the price that bites at the dawn of their development.

Electric cars require power, as in electricity,whereas petrol cars require fuel! Power and fuel prices are different in different regions of the world. If fuel prices go up, demand for petrol cars will decrease and demand for electric cars will increase.But there will be an equilibrium demand mix for both!

Right. And i don:t have amy problem with ecars replacing every petrol based cars. Tesla should be commended for starting this kind of thing though that will face very big challenges from the conventional car companies which is bigger. Of course for these people moneh comes first

definetly..each and every car should be converted to electric car on near future.because we dont have enough fual for our future activities.so we will have to think about alternative fual resources as electricity solar power and wind.to my mind petrol car will mot persist more than decade

No it will not destroy just like petrol and diesel they are diversified AccordiNg To Price. 

I don' t think so
Because we've been using petrol cars from the first

I don't think electric car can destroy petrol car. Considering the affordability of the electric car and cost of maintenance. Each car has their own pros and cons. Both cars will exist side by side with each individual  choosing his preference . It would just be like bicycle, tricycle and cars.

I think yes, and this process is already started.. Electro cars become cheaper and are sold at more favorable prices. The main problem I think is so called oil magnates which will purposely slow down this process..

Already destroyed. The topic is overdue.
Political decisions are made and soon there will be all infrastructure for electric cars, and for gasoline on the contrary there will be less services.

I think it will destroy it. because the gasoline is very dirty. very expensive. electricity is clean and cheap. but a number of petroleum cartels will not look that hot any time soon. because there are big investments. automotive manufacturers may be creating alternatives to the electrical system, but most of the gain is from liquid-fueled vehicles. Boron mine was a good source of energy, but they did not use it either.

yeah they will. have you seen cool the new electric cars are. fucking awesome. Its  totally gonna be life cars movie

We shouldn't forget the amount of nickle and cobalt needed to produce batteries for the electric cars of the future. If it really takes off, the current nickle and cobalt production mines cannot produce enough quality metals to fill the demand. This could stagnate growth of the electric car industry.

As for me so it's better to start up the energy and money for the extraction of nickel, cobalt and lithium ... and let the electric car drive out the petrol car.... although something useful for humanity will do ... or otherwise we will destroy the planet ... unfortunately, so few people see this and pay attention to it

Anything that's good for the environment is good for me, too.

I'm an environmentalist, so...

Judging by the prices on the exchanges, the markets do not see any special shortage in the future with these resources.

no, they will be equal in need.

I think electric cars has had 10 more years to evolve. The cost to renew the battery with the current conditions.

I'm not a big fan of electric cars, but I have an understanding that due to the huge number of cars with internal combustion engines, we have problems with nature and the planet and in general. Therefore electric cars will be very handy if we are going to save the environment in a normal state. That's just need to find opportunities for disposal of batteries.

Batteries are very expensive. Almost the price of the car. In environmental terms, of course, is more optimistic.

Now electric cars are very expensive, but behind them is the future. After all, gasoline (oil) is too early or too late to end and all are forced to switch to electric cars, in addition, it is an environmentally friendly mode of transport.

I think that electric cars are superior and spruce to petrol cars and Elon Musk has said that it is his mission to electrify the world's transportation

Yes , in some time it will happen . Electric car technology will replace the need of petrol car . But it will take time , enough time to change whole petrol car market into electric cars . As developing countries in the world will do it easily but under developed countries will take some time improve this facility.

Nope. It might drastically decrease sales, but there are always people who like "classic"/older cars.

Just electric I don't think so.
But I think hybrid cars are the future, it's like a beautiful mix: powerful, economic  and nature lover.

Are you sure that the technology will improve after 10 years? I am asking this because for the past 20 years, there have been hardly any improvement in this field. We are still using the Lithium-Cobalt battery, which is insanely expensive. And the deposits of Lithium and Cobalt which can be easily extracted are at the most finite in nature.

I agree, not many people can afford the electric car, especially of its high maintenance every now and then, I think many people will stick to using petrol and diesel cars compared to Electric cars. It will take a very long time for Electric Cars to take over and replace the traditional use of Petrol and Diesel Cars.

I really think it will because electric car is very convenient and it can save a lot of money. Not, just that it doesn't need gasoline to work, it is very eco-friendly and it can really help lessen pollution. I really think that it would be great if diesel powered cars will be replaced with electric cars because it will help people save a lot of money. However, it has a reverse impact on big oil companies because it would lessen oil and gasoline demand.

if electric car exceed the limit of one charge 1000kms...... definitely it will be the end of fuel cars. I dont think it will so far way. most probably next 10 years...

Electric bicycles are now widely used. It's energy efficient, powered by electricity. Student students use more electric bicycles. Instead of riding the bike often with the legs tired and tired are the children will far more distant. Should buy electric bicycles school children fast, fast.

Never, Petrol car is king. Electric car is just for fancy.

There was a time when such things were told about cars. Horses were kings  :)

Maybe, because electric car is more environmental friendly and more efficient than petrol carYes because electric car is more environmental friendly and more efficient than petrol car.

Until now, oil-fueled cars are still a mainstay, because with fuel that is easily obtainable, until now oil-fueled cars are still issuing the latest version.
Electric cars are still heavily adapted to climatic and fueled  his latest for speed

The petrol engine wears out more strongly, therefore the electric motor becomes cheaper after technology development

Yes, they will, when the oil runs out, only. The question is how high the price for electricity will be and how much the car with electric engine would cost.

I seriously doubt it. I doubt that petrol will still prevail. Petrol is outdated and sources of petrol is fast diminishing due to demands.it will be a great help to our environment if qe will start using electric cars because it has low to no smoke emissions

Of course! The amount of oil is decreasing in the world, proceeding from this cost of gasoline is growing and will increase. The future of engineering, for Tesla!

Nope. The cost of producing crude oil is on the decline. Earlier, it was close to $60 per barrel to extract one barrel of shale oil in the United States. Now that figure has come down to somewhere between $30 and $40 per barrel. Even in countries such as Russia and Saudi Arabia, the overall production costs have gone down. This trend is likely to continue in the future as well.

No way.
Rich daddies has great income from oil so they won't allow any "green" dudes to get in the boat.

And what about Water Fuel Cell / Water Powered Car ?

Well for most Utopian idealists, that would be a dream come true. It is also the end for the monopolists of petrol. The biggest hindrance is the production cost of electronic cars. Only a small number can afford it nowadays. Also, big petrol companies would never give up without a fight. These guys are not to be messed with; they are willing to kill those who would spearhead the innovation and marketers of electronic cars.

I'm sure it will. One day electric cars will become more affordable.

it's possible . The electric car can replace the petrol car , it depends on society .

In the future? Definitely. However, I do not believe that petrol companies will give up very soon though :D 

I think so.

no, because electric cars have only a few circles.
let alone people are more interested in using gasoline-fueled cars.

I think Eelctric car will replace the petrol ones in order to reduce air pollution. But it won't be a quick process, because there are countries which are facing electricity shortage problem. So how can they afford this?

I think this started already, slowly electric cars will take over the majority.
With the advancements in the battery technology we'll see more car, busses and even trucks with electricity.
and then, petrol cars will be outdated.

gradually yes i think
resources on fuel are getting harder and harder to find (+ cost) compared to electricity

We can hope, would solve a lot of pollution problems.

I hope that the electric cars will destroy the petrol cars.

High efficiency, zero air pollution, incredible acceleration and more. Electric cars are the future.

I think in the future, people are more easily to make electric than gas with nuclear technology. So electric cars would be more popular and they can replaced completely petrol cars. So the answer is yes ? Why not?

Gas will be eliminated some day.

So future is decided.

I sometimes worry about this. The petrol companies with their mass wealth have been known to kill any efforts that will cut into their profits. From buying patents, to killing people. So I wonder what they would have in store for this.

Definitely yes, but not for a long time I think. There are people that still have working model T's. Even if every car company were to stop making ICE cars tomorrow, enthusiasts and collectors will keep petrol cars running for a long time. Think about it this way, when ASIC arrived on the scene, they said GPU mining was dead, but it seems there are still a lot of people mining even if it's not profitable.  ;D

Ofcourse yes, but we dont know how long it will be true. Looks like BTC can solely replace with current money.

Personally, I think electric cars will be able to sell more than cars. But that ability is very difficult, because the cost of owning a car powered by electricity is not small

Electric car is the future. Petrol is harmful. I like Tesla car: model 3. HI

Not so
But gradually yes we can witness down which is may not good in some countries

I think electric cars will probably grow in the future, but I think it will be very difficult to get past the car, firstly the price, secondly there are many people who do not know about electric cars.

Yes it will. In the near future electric cars will have taken the road. And some of the countries would have banned petrol cars. There will be a drastic decrease in pollution in those countries therefore other countries will try to copy them which will destroy the petrol car industry.

Yeah I think so. It is better for the environment and over time it will be affordable for everyone.

I think yes, I know the electric car is more simple than a gasoline car, then this will be the reason why electric cars will excel in the future

Well it should eventually. The problem right now is efficiency. Electric cars are rapidly gaining in efficiency and adoption while petrol cars have remained mostly the same. I don't quite buy the idea that electric cars are currently better for the environment, but one day they might be. Right now we burn petrol to make electricity to power the cars. One day that might change with new technology. It already is with solar and wind.

Yes Definitely. Wee all are looking for the ways to save earth ant this one, in my opinion, would be the most important. The alternative energy sources are booming right now. and I'm guessing it still be booming even more in the nearest future.                                   

I don't think so, but I think hydrogen cars could do that.

Now electric cars are very expensive, but behind them is the future. After all, gasoline (oil) is too early or too late to end and all are forced to switch to electric cars, in addition, it is an environmentally friendly mode of transport.

Not yet, electric cars are not cheap, Petrol is cheaper even for 200k kilometers)

yeah definitely itwill destroy the petrol car.

i don t think thatelectric car will destroy the petrol car cuz first of all everybody won t have enough in comings to take those cars.

i don t think that it will destroy cuz there will be always need of petrol if not for cars for something else that will be invented!

It will be 20/80 in near future I guess

Yes i think so cause petrol car is so costly and expensive than electric car. of course people would like to use electric car so that to save money and  easily transport in future

No it will not destroy the car it will outdate it and help us to build a better world electronic cars should be encouraged it's an answer to a lot of problems.ie,pollution, respiratory diseases cure to everything...

One of the things that will impede the electric market is scalability. Also gasoline and diesel fuel provide a lot of tax revenue. Somehow governments will have to raise money they lose in gasoline and diesel taxes.

If I think the electric car will not destroy the gasoline car, because for now a gasoline car is still needed. But it is possible that electric cars will be widely used by consumers. Because everybody will look in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of both cars. For example, we can see the current inventions in the world, why do so many people switch to bitcoin investments because they know the benefits and advantages of their loss.

No, it will not destroy the industry totally, there will always people who like old cars and want to stick that way, same with how there are still a lot of olden day cars around on the streets.

It could possibly take over a huge market share in the automobile industry but that wont be for a decade or two

if we use electric cars will save both the state and personal use because it is environmentally friendly and maintain the balance of nature

YES. our planet has no unlimited source of oil. The day will come that all machines will all become electric.

History shows that new tech will replace old ones. I don't think old cars will disappear totally but it will be like antique (In the future it will look like the cowboy movie as we see today) LOL

when think about environment electric cars is the solution also it will beat gasoline cars but it never could gives the enjoyment and feeling of riding a petrol car

Nope, at least not until governments in third world countries introduce the electric car to their citizens. Also, petrol producing nations like Venezuela would likely keep on using petrol cars.

Did you know that the advantages of electric vehicles and cars are not, Electric cars are environmentally friendly vehicles and save fuel consumption but it has a weakness that it runs slower than other cars and is limited If you are a car rider you can pour gasoline anywhere but electricity is not always available

Not now but in future the Electric car can replace the petrol one.

I think it's possible, but not soon.Electric cars are gaining popularity, I think they are a very useful invention for the planet.

Yeh it will .... if makers comes with hybrid version.

Electric cars will eventually replace petrol cars.

I think there will be always the petrol car and there will be also a place for electric cars.

As soon as such cars like Tesla will be as cheap as normal petrol cars, I think yes. If it's more economical, people will switch to electronic cars. But I don't think that it will destroy petrol cars completely. I personally like petrol cars and old muscle cars.

I think that yes, it is the future, and friendly with the environment

OK, like model new tesla update  ::)

I think thats not possible to happen because one thing different between electric car and petrol car i the speed, even though you save a lot of energy in electric car still you can't achieved the speed of a petrol car.

Electricity is not very easy to produce. Only developed countries can afford electric car, but for developing and poor countries, they have to rely on petrol car.

Yes but it will take some time need a advance battery technology than now

I think that in twenty years from now the transportation will look very different. The petrol car will be only in the museum, and new combustible will be. The electric cars will be more cheap, so the ordinary people would afort them.

Remember the saying, "Make new friends but dont forget the old/ because the new maybe diamond but old is gold" Just same as that

They will both do their task in making by the world a better place

something like that is not possible at all I do not think they would prefer electricity when there are so many luxury gasoline cars

It may be that because the cars that are running are badly damaging the environment and would put one that does not hurt so much

I definitely hope so.

If they would be able to pass 1000+km and will have many charger stations and be cheaper - for sure

Looks like BTC can solely replace with current money.

question is, not what car will defeat what car. What medium of transport will beat the car?

I personally think that will affect the society to an extreme level. People will be cautious of environment and start electric cars

it will be a great impact to fuel car industry but i think it will not distrupt the whole fuel car industry because not all countries have abundant suppply of electricity and the traditional fuel car fits them. 

Not sure, electric cars are so expensive.

As with all new technology the innovators try them out first, then we'll move along until production costs reach a point where the masses can afford them. I think if you also take into account the CO2 targets of many countries it may reach a point where it is cheaper to own and run a fast electric car than a fast petrol one.

I dont think all the people will be able to afford such a car! So though the electric car will arise there will be still space for fuel one

Yes. I think near future Electric cars beats petrol car market

Maybe because of the increasing value of petrol. People will look for alternative.

I think that petrol cars will become a rarity in the future but still gonna exist. There always will be people who get a special kind of pleasure from the roar of a diesel engine

Electric cars will be next, It all really depends on how the electricity is generated though otherwise there is no point.

we can see the current inventions in the world, why do so many people switch to bitcoin investments because they know the benefits and advantages of their loss

the cost of owning a car powered by electricity is not small

It may take time, but electric car may be the future of transport though

If you drive an electric car you’re obviously planning for the future. In addition to being counted among the ranks of the “coolest people around”, you’ll be making a difference for the environment, and saving money. Lets go green with eletrical car.

No
Batteries are extremely damaging to environment, production and disposal.

Besides Jed engines already fly with compressed air.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6Lk7xlWCjo

If the electric cars will have more advantages over the fuel cars then yes it would be easy to destroy the fuel cars

we can make use of the current/future tech.
if it can cut the cost, then why not?
People are working on solar vehicle as well. In a way, we can reduce pollution too.

Electric cars are a fraud. Imagine every car in the world would be electric and with batteries which in some years become toxic waste.
With the pollution to produce a batteries for the e-car i can drive conventional car for 8 years.
The future is water or air powered cars and homes. Show me a 200 liter (55-gallon Barrel) tank on a F1 car

I think it will happen in two or three years. Every day this industry develops. This is a brilliant idea, which will surely conquer the whole world.

Yes this is true the electric car is the future and many of the company is making electric car and and some of them are already in the market like "Tesla" because these car is fast as compare with petrol car and second resources are scare and rate of petrol is touching the sky so its true that electric car are destroying the petrol car. Actually its good because as compare with the petrol car electric car is eco friendly whic is good for the earth.
So go green go electric. ;D ;D

I think electric cars will destroy petrol cars. Petrol is running out, and it is too expensive, but electricity is produced by people and it is good for the environment

So long as electric cars are much more environmentally friendly than petrol i would totally wish it would. I watched a documentary a few years back about electric cars.

You can get 12kW out of an electric range outlet. That will charge the biggest Tesla in less than 8 hours. It'll also cost typically $8 in the US for those 8 hours.

I really really hope they do because petrol has caused soo many problems in human history. It is the cause of war, famine, and overall dictatorships in this world. We need to get to a more earth friendly, people friendly solution

Total nonsense, as long as most cities power plants are run on coal. You are essentially just burning coal in your "electric car."

I'll have to visit that huge flat lithium salt area in Bolivia (or close) before it gets converted in to electric car batteries.

We can hope, would solve a lot of pollution problems.

i think it will destroy petrol car in future. nowadays petrol consumption is very high so it may be possible

The same thing with bitcoin and regular money
I think electro cars will be more popilar in the future

They have different niches. If it was world wide trend for electric cars then maybe.

will never montor electricity replace gasoline montor, I like montor that gasoline because of its tug lightly.

base on my own opinion it can really destroy petrol car, imagine if people can afford electric car, petrol car will slowly die.

The development of environment friendly electric or solar products was slowed down due to the influence of petroleum and oil businessmen.

Definitely ..... Battery powered cars will soon be cheaper to buy than conventional gasoline ones.

Affordability is the biggest challenge. Isn't it? Why should anyone spend $100,000 on a Tesla car, when a Toyota or Fiat with the same specifications can be obtained for under $20,000? Environmental protection is fine. But it should be affordable as well.

You probably would like to say something, then I agree. This is in the first place environmentally friendly, and secondly, much cheaper.

Electric cars require power, as in electricity,whereas petrol cars require fuel! Power and fuel prices are different in different regions of the world. If fuel prices go up, demand for petrol cars will decrease and demand for electric cars will increase.

Right. And i don:t have amy problem with ecars replacing every petrol based cars. Tesla should be commended for starting this kind of thing though that will face very big challenges from the conventional car companies which is bigger.

No it will not destroy just like petrol and diesel they are diversified AccordiNg To Price.

definetly..each and every car should be converted to electric car on near future.because we dont have enough fual for our future activities.so we will have to think about alternative fual resources as electricity solar power and wind.to my mind petrol car will mot persist more than decade

I really think that having an electric car is more eco frienldy compared when you are using diesel powered car. It's cheapwr because gasoline and oil is  ey expensive nowadays.

At my opinion electric cars still worst than hybrids and petrol cars because our world still not ready for it.

Will the electric car destroy petrol car?
There is major portion of society which will not afford the electric car. I think the electric car will make comport in our lives but there is a space available for petrol car also. Petrol is also a powerful fuel which are mostly consuming in machines.

Gonna answer that with another question. How much 'big' gas companies willing to spend to prevent it? :)

Eventually, yes.

I haven't followed it that closely, but aren't there already some bans in Europe set to go into effect on new gas car sales by the 30s/40s?

I guess fuel cell vehicles could catch on in some places, so it may not necessarily end up being all electric. But fossil fuel cars will eventually be phased out.

A study conducted jointly by the NGO Carbon Tracker and the Grantham Institute reports that oil companies underestimate the global market for electric vehicles. Which could lower the demand of two million barrels per day in 2025.

Behind electromobiles the future. In a short time it will be improved, and it will be more popular. Such a car will save the ecology even more.

i hope NO  :D

ofcourse no

Someday - ofcourse yes

I agree, I think so too ... of course, electric cars are more useful for the environment .

I really hope so because gas is a big problem for the world we can see its effects like global warming and rising sea levels so let's just pray in the future electric car will destroy the petrol cars and we can save the world.

I believe that electric cars are definitely the future, and the industry will keep developing. It makes sense to me that petrol cars will start to lose their popularity.

It is going to be very expensive and not everyone will be able to afford it.

It must. As it will completely destroy or emanate the gasoline thing.

Well it could get the petrol market slow down but still it wont destroy because petrolium is not only for the cars and there are many uses of this energy. Probably some of it will be used for power plant to get more electricity.

deisel will die well before the petrol car

will never montor electricity replace gasoline montor, I like montor that gasoline because of its tug lightly.

We all know that the main disadvantage with the electric car lies in the expenses. The capital cost and maintenance for electric cars are much higher when compared to diesel or petrol cars of similar configuration. Another major issue is the battery replacement, which will cost you a fortune every 3-4 years.

The improvement of condition well disposed electric or sunlight based items was backed off because of the impact of oil and oil specialists. Be that as it may, when we have visionaries like Elon Musk we can seek after a superior future. I am certain that when electric autos wind up moderate to the white collar class individuals then it will demolish the petroleum autos. Who might need petroleum autos when we have better alternative.

If you drive an electric car you’re obviously planning for the future. In addition to being counted among the ranks of the “coolest people around”, you’ll be making a difference for the environment, and saving money. Lets go green with eletrical car.

we better use the motor gasoline, more steady use motor bengsin.

Gasoline and bensin is the same thing duh

I dont think it will happen for a few years. The cost of replacing the batteries in an electric car is still too expensive

It might as with the advancement in technology the money will also grow.

A lot of people will not be able to afford the electric cars and it will not destroy it.

except electric cars will be getting cheaper and cheaper with every year

Maybe, it's probably an electric car crashes a petrol car... there is a lot of road accidents daily...  :P

yes,the electric car will destroy the petrol car.
 now a days the sources of petrol and diesel are reduced.
 so the electric power production is increasing in this generation.
so the electric car destroy the petrol car.
 

probably yes electric cars are improving a lot over the year and may soon replace the petrol or diesel cars

It's hard to say as we can see that in some places, gasoline is much cheaper and easier to find than electricity. so, in short future, most people tend to use gasoline/diesel car

Yeah, it is going to replace the normal cars very soon for good.

Ofcourse yes, but we dont know how long it will be true. Looks like BTC can solely replace with current money.
