Are Gas-Powered Cars Facing Extinction?
Download MP3Episode Overview:
Are gasoline and diesel vehicles truly a thing of the past? While they’re still on the road, recent developments suggest that the future of internal combustion engines (ICE) is uncertain. In this episode, we break down:
- The Global Shift Toward Electric Vehicles (EVs)
- The European Union has banned the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars and vans starting June 29.
- Similar bans are happening in places like California and Washington State.
- A shrinking market for combustion vehicles may make them unprofitable to manufacture.
- The "Cortez Burning the Ships" Analogy
- How historical events relate to the irreversible push toward EV adoption.
- Government regulations and policies may be eliminating the possibility of going back to ICE vehicles.
- Range & Charging Concerns
- Gasoline cars can refuel in minutes and have a range of around 500 miles.
- EVs typically have a range of 200 miles or less, with long charging times.
- Research suggests advertised EV ranges may be overestimated by nearly 20%.
- The Future of EVs & Consumer Impact
- Will internal combustion engines survive in any form?
- What happens if there’s not enough electricity to charge millions of EVs?
- Is EV adoption inevitable, or just a temporary trend?
