With the rapid development of electric vehicle technology, the competition between them and traditional combustion vehicles is becoming increasingly fierce. Many predict that within a decade, it will be difficult to continue using gasoline vehicles. There are practical reasons behind this prediction.
On the one hand, in terms of technology, electric vehicles have come a long way. The pure electric vehicles launched by Tesla and other companies have strong power and greatly improved mileage.
Chinese companies such as BYD and Xpeng have also made major technological breakthroughs in batteries and motors.
At the same time, the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles is also improving rapidly, with the number of public charging piles proliferating, and the charging time is greatly reduced. In contrast, technological innovation in fuel vehicles is relatively slow.
On the other hand, from the perspective of national policy, the Chinese government strongly supports the development of the electric vehicle industry. Policies and measures such as purchase subsidies, purchase tax exemptions, and traffic restrictions have been introduced to promote the large-scale application of electric vehicles.
The policy on fuel vehicles is relatively tight, and the consumption tax is raised to restrict their purchases. This brings policy dividends to electric vehicles.
Finally, in terms of cost comparison, electric vehicles have lower operating costs. The cost of charging is much lower than that of a gasoline vehicle, especially in China, where electricity prices are low.
In the long run, the total cost of ownership of an electric vehicle is likely to be lower than that of a gasoline vehicle. This will encourage more consumers to choose electric vehicles.
Of course, there is still a way to go for electric vehicles to completely replace gasoline vehicles. After all, fuel vehicles have a wealth of technology accumulation and have obvious advantages in long-distance travel. But with further improvements in battery technology, this gap is narrowing.
Therefore, there is reason to believe that electric vehicles are likely to become mainstream in the automotive market within 10 years.
If combustion engine vehicles want to turn the tide in this competition, they must promote technological changes to greatly improve fuel efficiency and emission reduction performance. At the same time, fuel vehicle companies also need to adjust their market positioning, and more for user groups with high requirements for long-distance performance.
In conclusion, the competition between electric vehicles and gasoline vehicles continues, but the former has a clear advantage.
If ICE vehicle companies do not take effective countermeasures, they are likely to have a sharp decline in market share within 10 years, and the prediction that consumers will be "hard to use" ICE vehicles may become a reality.
In the face of the trend of switching old and new kinetic energy, traditional car companies must take the initiative to occupy a place in the new era.
