Some people think that only electric cars should be on roads by 2040. Do you agree?

Electric

vehicles

are a relatively new concept in the automotive industry and are considered as the transport of the

future

. Some people are of the view that only electric

cars

should be permitted to run on the roads by 2040. In my opinion,

although

electric

are energy efficient and environmentally friendly, they are still in the nascent stage and need more developments to be used by the masses.

Firstly

, the majority of the

vehicles

running in the world today are powered by gasoline, which is not only a major emitter of hazardous pollutants responsible for air pollution. Electric

vehicles

have the potential to reduce emissions by half and are far more environmentally friendly than the current options.

For instance

, not only are electric

cars

fuelled by the combustion of renewable lithium-ion cells but can be easily recharged at the nearest charging station.

Thus

, if more people transition to electric

in the near

, we may be able to significantly reduce the effects of global warming.

On the other hand

, transitioning to an electric alternative comes with its own challenges. To start with, electric

cars

are in the early stage and are quite expensive for many. Long-distance travel is not feasible since

such

types of

cars

require frequent charging, and building extensive charging infrastructure in every corner of the globe will require billions of taxpayer's money and decades of construction work. Not to mention that it took years for

cars

to be affordable for a majority of the middle-class population; and even today, a small four-wheeler is still a far-fetched dream for many people.

Hence

, traditional

vehicles

will still need to be used for commuting. In conclusion, indeed, in the

future

Use synonyms

electric

vehicles

will evolve to be cheaper and better than the current version, but it will still take a few decades to truly see a shift of running only electric

on the roads. With the right combination of both gasoline

and hybrid

, we can slowly move to a

with environmentally cleaner, sustainable and cheaper
