The question of whether electric vehicles (EVs) will fully replace gasoline cars by 2035 hinges on technological, economic, and policy factors. Currently, EVs represent roughly one-quarter of new car sales in some markets, but face headwinds including charging infrastructure gaps, higher upfront costs, and recent policy shifts in major economies. The 2035 deadline is significant because several governments—including the UK and EU—have set it as a target for phasing out new petrol car sales, making this a pivotal moment for the automotive industry's transition.
