In 2038, will the electric car beat the thermal car?

According to a study carried out by Bloomberg, an American financial advisory company, traditional combustion will lose strength over the years and the electric car will rise to the top positions in 2038. But, thermal cars still have many years of life and continue to be leaders , so this transition will be seen progressively over these 18 years, according to the Bloomberg report.

This document ensures that 42.4 million of the 92 million vehicles that will be sold in 2038 will be completely electric and 41.8 million will be thermal and plug-in hybrids would represent 7.5 million.

The report proposes this progressive change in Spain, because at the European level it is already being carried out, representing in Europe and China the 70% of the electric vehicle market.

Slow but steady growth

The growth in electric car sales will be slow, since in 2021 sales are expected to be below two million and this very progressive increase in sales is due to the need for battery factories, a public charging network, and car factories. adapted, the price... In short, more advanced technology, more resources, more investment and a real change of consciousness on the part of society is needed to achieve a true transition towards electric mobility.

Europe and China account for 70% of electric vehicle sales on the market, since governments are very committed to the environmental problems that we are suffering from. In fact, in Europe the rules on CO2 emissions will be tightened in the coming years and also those for other gases. Aid for the purchase of electric vehicles, tax advantages and all kinds of advantages will make the consumer, little by little, see the electric vehicle as the most profitable and sustainable option.

The price of batteries will drop and that will mean that the prices of electric cars and thermal cars will equalize and that will mark a before and after in consumer habits, since many people will see electric vehicles as an accessible and smart to move, achieving benefits for your own well-being and for the environment. Price will be a key factor for many people to decide to buy an electric vehicle.

When the electric vehicle climbs the ranks, mobility will be transformed into electric, clean and sustainable journeys and that will have a very positive impact on everything around us. With this change we will all benefit, because it does not generate air pollution, does not require fuel, does not produce noise pollution, generates great savings in car maintenance, offers greater efficiency, safety and intelligence while driving and multiple advantages.

As the years go by we will see how quickly we make this interesting transition.
