Electric vehicles have reduced gasoline consumption

Experts in the field of energy said that our dependence on gasoline and oil can decrease dramatically due to the growing demand for electrically powered cars. According to them, the demand for passenger vehicle gasoline engine can fall by 2020.





A new forecast from the International energy Agency (International Energy Agency) claims that the global consumption of gasoline cars will decrease over the next five years. According to Bloomberg, the decline will be fairly modest: world consumption will decrease from 23 million barrels of oil per day last year to 22.8 million barrels per day by 2020. However, according to the IEA, then there is a likelihood of further growth in oil demand until 2040.

And, although the current consumption decrease by 0.2 percent, is a small change, but it's the right direction, especially when you consider that over the past 25 years consumption has increased by 20 percent.





It is interesting to note that the IEA is much more positive for oil producers than some intra-industry assessment. Shell, for example, recently stated that total oil demand could peak within five years. However, IEA believes that the consumption of other types of refined fuels such as jet fuel and diesel fuel will continue to grow.

Executive Director of the IEA, Fatih Birol, a recent report suggested that by 2030 nearly two thirds of all cars on the roads in some cities can be electric.





However, a sharp increase in the use of electric cars and decrease the demand for oil can't happen soon enough: transport as the largest source of carbon dioxide emissions may exceed the electricity sector in the United States this year. Make sure that the situation is improving, is the main task in the fight against climate change.

In this regard, we hope that government initiatives will continue to encourage the use of vehicles with electric drive. published
