Gasoline car vs. Electric car by 2023?

Contributor: PassionateLover2 PassionateLover2
Exactly 10 years from now, do you think you will own a gasoline car or an all-electric car? An electric car is defined as a pure electric vehicle. A hybrid vehicle is defined as a combination of an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors. A flexible-fuel vehicle (E85) will fall under the gasoline car definition.

In 10 years, I'm sure I'll own an all electric car.

Most likely gasoline engines will decrease with an increase in diesel, hybrid and electric only vehicles, petroleum will not completely cease any time soon due to the shear amount of money in the industry

Depends on the price, I'd like to have an electric but I think I'll probably end up with a used hybrid.

I'm excited about hydrogen powered cars.
Here's a CNN article about where hydrogen power is right now and where it's going:

I like it! Actually, a hydrogen car IS an electric car (from the article): "Also a type of electric vehicle, a fuel-cell car takes hydrogen gas and converts it into electricity, while emitting only water vapor."

A lot of people think a hydrogen fuel cell is a power source, but really it's an energy storage medium, similar to a battery, but with significant advantages over NiMH or Lithium-ion technology - longer range, quicker refueling, lower environmental impact during manufacturing. The main disadvantage is cost; the analyst's estimate in the article was that it costs $100K to build a fuel-cell car today. I hope by 2023, the costs will be similar to gasoline cars today.

Thanks VERY much for linking that article. I had no idea hydrogen fuel-cell cars would be available so soon.

I go on some really long car rides (8 hours) so I couldn't go all electric (takes most cars 24 hours or 8 to charge back up which isn't great if you are on a road trip), but a hybrid would be nice.

Probably a hybrid or electric car, depends on how much the tech has advanced by then

Thanks for your information. YES, I do think that by 2023 the cost of a fuel-cell car will still be too costly! The GM Volt car is still too expensive today!

I own a hybrid now, and love it.

What's hilarious is when people argue with me saying it's 100% electric. Don't they think I know if I plug my car in or not?

I guess for many people, there is a certain amount of education that they need to have to truly understand the situation!

I'm hoping I'll at least have a hybrid by then if not something more environmentally friendly.

Geez, I am hoping they will all be hybrid by then!

I hope I will be able to afford an electric car by then, but we'll have to see how expensive they are then. But my car is only a few years old so I won't need to buy one for several years anyway

Hopefully a hybrid by then.

They may still be too expensive even in 2023!

Hmmm let me see, kept one car for fifteen years, and it was still running fine but I was tired of it and gave it to my sister. My current ride is now seven years old but running fine, so it would be possible that in another ten years I may still have it. Oh it's gasoline fueled.

I'm with you - it's just transportation, I drive them 'til they just will not go anymore. I have no desire for anything exotic - gasoline is fine for me.
