* on the oil market:small impact,as EVs represent like 1.5 % of cars on the road in Western Europe. It’s going to take years to replace most of the fleet so don’t hope that EVs will end our dependence on Saudi Arabia ,Russia and others until the end of the decade;**sorry,but that is the reality**
* on the car market: a possibly catastrophic impact ;gas and diesel sales will probably never ever reach the levels they had in 2018-2019
* the more expensive car models are going electric faster than the rest,making the impact even worse on parts and engines manufacturers
* since electric cars have fewer components than gas car(20 moving parts vs 2000 in traditional gas cars) [https://driveelectric.org.nz/individuals/what-is-an-ev](https://driveelectric.org.nz/individuals/what-is-an-ev/) the parts manufacturers will now be reduced to making replacement parts for the cars on the road,as the market for new gas cars is only going down
That isn’t as many as I thought it would be. The problems that will need to be alleviated are I suppose range anxiety, houses that havnt got a place for a charger, and the fact that they are still very expensive?
I am sure the author really struggles with the most basic geography and does not understand the location of ‘Western Europe’
you would be a fool not to buy one considering the subsidies. It would be 100% but unfortunately the infrastructure is not there, so only the rich with dedicated parking spaces and good electric grid can have it
BEV sales are very different on different EU countries.
In general sales are higher on Northern Europe, exceeding 50%, and lower on the eastern Countries, with less than 5%.
