There are currently over 5.1 million electric cars on the roads globally, or 0.6% of the passenger car stock worldwide. The International Energy Agency aims to increase the share of electric vehicles globally to 30% by 2030.

The title is rhetorical…
Right now EVs are expensive. If you really want to carbon neutralize your car, buy a cheap, reliable, used car and donate a bunch of money to plant trees.
This is so out-of-date now – just a year later..
I could be dead wrong, but I don’t see electric vehicles as the future in America. Americans will not tolerate waiting for 1-2 hours to charge their vehicle at super charger stations. I think hybrids or some kind of hydrogen fuel cell will be the future here, we can fill up in minutes.
Also, EV are way too expensive, I love Elon musk, but unless he gets the Tesla down to 20k not very many people will be able to afford them. Only time will tell
out west wind turbines /solar panels with charging stations sounds like a idea of course the cost of this is a problem to over come .
haha. 'can' they? LoL. that's like asking in 2004, 'can smart phones survive against home phone service'? 16 years later, i don't know any residential customer who even still has a home phone. well, except for me, but i have a land line and a cell phone, and probably soon convert that land line to a cell line.
electric vehicles can only go main stream when there is infastructure for it but at the moment there isnt that much
If EV overcome range, it need to close what gasoline cars offering ( 700 km one way range with one fill up gas ) ,and economical , lt need to cost less than 20.000 usd with all the functions. then I think it is possible
Yeah Tesla, Google, Apple and even Walmart ARE definitely going to be profiting from this.
no, they can not , switching from oil to EV with todays battery tech isnt sustainable, not enough nickel ( will last for ~ 3 decades if EV replace all petrol cars ) so tbh we have more oil reserves , worldometer tells its 47 years of oil left with todays known reserves .
If the people want them and/or the government mandates it, then yes. The solution might be to have a recharge that has perhaps 12 prongs, so that recharging can occur partially at 12 parts of the battery, perhaps tripling charge-up speed.
To All People Fight Here.
— What If Electric Cars Better than ICE Which they Fuc***g Are.
You do know how Norway is electrifiying car ownership? By selling fossil fuels to other countries. Any Co2 gains are minimal.
Yes
If goes mainstream …arab countries will become beggar countries
The Tesla fanboys are out in full force. It’s a fad. I see suvs more than electric. I never see a Tesla on the open road and I drive the turnpike often. They put charging stations in as well. They are a city car. They are a fad. They cost 80k. I have yet to see a model 3. The reason is they don’t want a cheap model. They want the s or y. I don’t see a problem with it but to hype them up and say they are going to be overtaking Ice cars is ridiculous. They won’t. Not for a long time. Until you can charge it up in five minutes and get over 400 miles of range then I will take notice as will millions of people.
Gotta love the way she says "vehicle".
Here in the USA. Maybe in another century or so. We are so far behind us crazy
You forgot about oil lobbyists 🤬
REMEMBER….The future is not the future. The future is NOW!!! This is now the fact.
They are slowly going mainstream as car manufacturers realise they're the future but those high prices sure aren't helping.
It already has?
All because of Elon musk
