Will Fuel-Powered Cars Be Phased Out?
2 Answers
Fuel-powered cars will be phased out. Reasons why fuel-powered cars will be phased out: Currently, new energy vehicles are still not mature enough, their application is not widespread, and their range is limited. In some cities with steep road gradients, new energy vehicles struggle to operate efficiently. Therefore, gasoline-powered cars will still be around for some time and will not be phased out immediately. Relevant regulations: A comprehensive and scientific comparative analysis of the potential and role of traditional fuel-powered cars and new energy vehicles in terms of technological costs, energy savings, emission reductions, and market demand. Based on the vast and unevenly developed national conditions, in-depth and detailed comprehensive analysis and judgment should be conducted. Policies should be tailored to local conditions and categorized, supporting pilot projects in eligible regions and fields, such as replacing city buses and taxis first and establishing no-fuel-vehicle zones. On the basis of successful implementation, a coordinated study will be conducted to formulate a timeline for the phase-out of fuel-powered cars.
From an environmental perspective, I believe fuel-powered vehicles will eventually be phased out, but it won't happen overnight. Look at how severe climate change has become—governments worldwide are pushing clean energy policies, like the EU's complete ban on new fuel vehicle sales by 2035, and the US and China heavily subsidizing EV development. Traditional combustion engines emit too many greenhouse gases, accelerating global warming, while EVs can charge via solar or wind power to achieve zero emissions. In our daily lives, driving electric is not only quieter but also saves money, though the transition period still needs to address insufficient charging infrastructure. In the long run, gasoline cars will gradually fade out like old mobile phones, but existing fuel vehicles will likely remain on the road for another 20-30 years. We should pay more attention to hybrid technology as a transitional option.
