It’s not true, but it’s possible that there’ll be more than gas vehicles.
Electric cars aren’t the only option in transport; they’re just an alternative to diesel and gasoline. They’ll fulfill about 80-90% of the requirements of the owner however there’s a 10% to 20% that it doesn’t.
Cars for commuters will tend to be electric. Cars that are driven heavily for long distances will remain gasoline . I’m sure all EV owners like to justify that it’s “great” they are to take a 30 to 90 minutes break from on a long journey in the waiting room for charging, however, it’s an investment that many people don’t want to accept (myself included – I’d never take my electric car on an extended road trip for any reason, at all.).
Heavy trucks continue to utilize diesel. Diesel is more energy-dense than any battery currently in existence in addition “time means the currency” in the business of trucking and if your wheels don’t moving, you’re not getting the money you deserve. Tesla and Nikola semi trucks Tesla and Nikola semi-trucks have far too little range and take a long time to charge for long-distance trips.
If charging times increase (to an extent, for instance, the 5-minute range) or battery swaps become most common practice the situation will shift and electric vehicles could replace gas-powered vehicles. In the case of diesel, I’m sure we’ll have diesel cars in the streets in 100 years’ time.
