Whilst that statement may ring true for the average VW Golf or Polo, there will always be the nostalgic demand for these cars.
Having owned a couple of P100D Teslas in the not so distant past, as well as having reviewed the Model S’s most recent incarnation, I can say this; the novelty of the instant response will wear off. Once it does, the car becomes very dull, very very quickly.
I also don’t see electric cars, in their current form, as the future. Imagine your entire street being “plugged in”. Notwithstanding the fact that we do not currently produce enough clean electricity in the UK, surely all these silly cables would be a trip hazard for pedestrians and cyclists. Unless, everyone is forced to have a fast charger installed at their expense, which would be unrealistic/unfeasible for most people.
There has been some discussion about installing wireless charging tech under the tarmac on the roads but we are a fair, fair, way away from such tech being developed, let alone by the government’s, overly optimistic, 2030 deadline. So at least for our generation, I think we’ll all be dead before the time comes where there are no more ICE cars on the road. In the unlikely event that it does however, I’m moving to South America, Africa or the UAE where such a notion would be laughable.
