Alot of the major car manufacturers are turning their sights on electric and hybrid cars and it seems it's only a matter of time before petrol and diesel cars are gone the way of the dodo. Tesla unveiled an impressive truck for transporting goods. Alot of governments and car manufacturers seem to be getting on board with going green for all the obvious reasons but how soon do you predict before electric is the norm in transportation ?
Do you own an electric car or are considering buying one ? What are your reasons for buying it ?
It is an exciting time to see so many advancements in technology. I think that electric cars are already "normal" in many places. For them to be the "norm", as in the most common type of car, I think it will take some time. Some countries are really off to a good start though. Norway is the best example. Over 5% of all their cars on the road are electric. In 2017, 39.2% of all car sales were electric. It's pretty easy to see that in 10 or 20 years, they'll easily have almost all electric cars. I would certainly consider buying an electric car, but it's more of a novelty thing for me. I would probably weigh out all the costs and benefits and get a cheaper electric car, rather than a Tesla, for example.
