Electric car demand to outstrip petrol cars by 2026 - futurology study

A study commissioned by major auto manufacturers has found that young people want to buy electric cars instead of petrol. The highest number is in the 14 year old age group, of which 81% of them want their first car to be electric. 

Maybe then the west will get the fuck out of the Middle East.

It would appear we are in good hands, as a new study conducted on kids aged 14 to 17 shows that the vast majority of them plan on buying an electric car as their first vehicle purchase. 

The internal combustion engine (ICE) is apparently living its last decades, as more and more signs seem to point toward its ultimate demise. Yesterday, Toyota announced that it would cut its CO2 emissions by 90% by 2050, which means giving up on cars using ICEs other than as range extending generators for the electric motors on just some of their models. 

Today, a study conducted in the UK shows that no less than eight in ten (81%) 14-year-olds intend to buy an EV when the time to own a car comes. That percentage decreases as the age of the respondents grows, but it remains over 50 percent. Autoevolution
