How fast do you think America or the world will transition away from gas cars? Be realistic. Is there any way you see that happening in less than 25 years?

- colechristensen 7y agoYes, people get new cars rather frequently. 50% of new cars by 2030 easily. With the upcoming generation, driving an ICE car will be a social stigma, and electric a status symbol.

- RandomBacon 7y agoFor many people, a new-to-them car, is a used car. As long as used ICE vehicles are cheaper than Elec vehicles, there will be a significant demand.
- colechristensen 7y agoMedian age of cars on the road today is a little under 11 years. Growing global warming problems and anti-environmenalist population aging means there will be growing support for taxing ICE and incentivizing electric vehicles. The used market will begin to include more and more electrics. Electrics are far cheaper to operate, competition and economies of scale will make electrics cheaper because they are far mechanically simpler. Some places already have plans for banning ICE vehicles, cost be damned.
