Will the electric car destroy the petrol car?

[Rallu]

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.

[Fryne]

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

[Jaria]

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.

[Yncou]

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.

[Ogrdy]

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

[Zzast]

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

[Yante]

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.

[CryptoPsycho]

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?

[poornamelessme]

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.

[Rimcoin]

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.

[Dove007]

Like Tesla FF91

i hope NO 

[gulievj]

ofcourse no

[iiikkkxj]

Someday - ofcourse yes

[Luce09]

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.

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

[Viktor N.]

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.

[rudik_ms]

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.

[octagonsaute]

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