What Should We Call 'Petrolheads' Once EVs Take Over The Entire Market? | Carscoops

Although they aren’t there quite yet, electric vehicles seem to be on a slow and steady march to take over the automotive market. That leads to a number of questions, none more lexicographical than the question of what to call “petrol heads” once petrol stops being used to power cars.

Although this may sound like a question designed exclusively for our readers in the U.K., it’s one worth asking, too. The rise of electric vehicles doesn’t just mean the end of petroleum distillate it will also likely mean that automobiles have many fewer gears , putting the term “gear head” at risk of extinction, too.

So what shall we, lovers of cars and tinkering, call ourselves once the objects we so admire change so drastically? You may wonder if EVs will mean the end of our kind altogether, since they seem so different to work on than current vehicles, but I don’t think that pessimistic view of the world will come to fruition.

Call the petrolheads the smart folks that hung on to their cars, and did not go along with electrification.

EVs Could Account For ~90% Share Of The Market By 2027This article looks at the forecast that electric vehicles will take the majority of the marketplace by 2027. We'll need much better infrastructure on the personal vehicle front if that's going to happen. IMHO. No chance. Unfortunately there won’t be enough lithium mines up and running by then. Maybe 5 years later. If you count hybrids and phev's as ev's. With enough minerals stripped from the earth. Yes 90% by 2027 is achievable. Have to concentrate on hybrids and phevs.
