Here's Why Electric Cars Won't Kill Gas Engine Cars Any Time Soon
Story by Sammy James Moon • Yesterday 2:54 PM
 
Electric vehicles have been dominating the headlines recently. New electric cars from Ford, Hyundai and Kia gained ground, chipping away at Tesla's lead. EV sales in America nearly doubled in 2022 over the previous year, even as total vehicle sales fell eight percent. It certainly does look like the E-vehicle market is booming with no signs of slowing down.

Updated February 2023: We've updated this article with more details on advancements in internal combustion engine technology, and if you really need to be worried about electric cars killing off gas engines.

Pair this with rumors of tax hikes, ultra-low emission zones (where fossil fuel car owners have to pay to enter an area if their vehicle doesn't meet modern emissions standards), and talks of completely banning the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars, and suddenly things are starting to look a bit scary.

While electric cars like the Lucid Air electric sedan are taking great steps forward in the innovation of electric cars and with graphene batteries just around the corner, it is important for us gearheads to remember, this is not the death of our beloved gasoline engines... far from it in fact.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
