Will Gasoline Cars Be Phased Out?
2 Answers
Gasoline cars will not be phased out at present. The following are precautions for engine maintenance: Fuel must be clean: If the fuel contains a high amount of impurities, it will accelerate the wear of the electric fuel pump and reduce its service life. Dirty fuel can also cause blockages in the fuel filter and fuel injectors, affecting fuel supply pressure and normal fuel injection, thereby reducing the engine's performance. Correct fuel selection: Engines have high requirements for fuel quality and grade, especially for electronically fuel-injected engines. For cars equipped with catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, only unleaded high-grade gasoline should be used. If leaded gasoline is used, the exhaust catalytic converter will fail after driving more than 400 kilometers, the oxygen sensor will also malfunction, and the normal operation of the engine will be affected.
I've been in auto repair for almost twenty years, and honestly, all countries are pushing new energy vehicles now. Look at Europe banning gasoline cars from 2035, and Hainan, China, stopping sales by 2030. But a complete phase-out will take time. After all, about 80% of vehicles on the road today are still fuel-powered, with gas stations everywhere in cities and rural areas. Many people feel electric vehicles suffer too much range loss in winter. I estimate fuel cars will still be around for the next twenty years, especially in northern regions or for long-distance travel. However, if young people are buying a new car now, I always recommend considering hybrids or pure electric vehicles first.
