Tesla CEO Elon Musk has predicted that nearly all new vehicles sold worldwide will be electric within the coming years, as gasoline-only models now account for less than half of global sales. The shift reflects a rapid acceleration in consumer demand for electric vehicles, driven by environmental concerns and advancements in battery technology. Industry analysts suggest this transition could reshape automotive manufacturing and energy markets, though challenges like charging infrastructure and production costs remain. The decline of traditional internal combustion engines signals a potential turning point for the auto industry’s future.
