Topic:The forced decline in focus of gas vehicles in the car industry.

Problem Statement:

Many Countries within the next decade are planning to remove and ban the usage and production of gas-powered vehicles, towards a shift in electric powered cars as most areas are still not prepared to accommodate the latter’s type of vehicle.

Background (literature review)

From an article written by Sam Abuelsamid on Automotiveworld, is the infrastructure ready for an electric vehicle future. Overall, the general answer based on data linked, is that it is both a yes and a no. To attempt to carry out a major change that will affect every person dependent on using transportation from getting from A to B, is a lot more effort and readiness that both the car industry and the environments themselves have to make. Many wonder that if it is too soon as countries start imposing coming bans of the gas-powered car, despite the advancing progress made towards the EV branch of the industry.

The purpose and relevance of the study

The car industry is a major part of every 1st world country, and most 3rd world countries. The average person at least uses some form of transportation to move them places, whether by privately owned or public service vehicles. It’s a part of their lives and the industry has been developed overtime for more than a hundred years. The EV (electric vehicle) branch is still fairly new within the last decade, with new surfacing car companies such as Tesla motors spearheading the branch. Imposing a sudden banning and restricting gas powered vehicles so soon will not allow many of the population to catch up and be prepared. Thus this study will show that there are better approaches to shifting the industry completely by expanding the time needed for that shift.

The scope of the study

The study will be focused within UAE, in car companies that are already having their models be replaced with electric ones.

Sample and data collection methods

Primary: Interviews with sales people of Chevrolet and Tesla. And interviews with mechanics of local garages with questions about their view on having to switch to fixing on electric cars.

Secondary: Online articles, data and graphs of vehicle uses throughout certain time periods between EV and gas powered cars globally.
