Gas Cars Will Start to Disappear Sooner Than You Think. Find out when it will happen in your state

Gas cars are disappearing, and this data shows it's happening before most people realize.
There’ll be fewer gas-powered cars on the road in California next year than this year. And every year after that. In Colorado and Washington State, that tipping point occurs in 2026.

The implications to this hidden trend are wild. Revenue from gasoline sales and oil changes will begin to decline in several states in the next year or two.
For gas car drivers and owners, this shift means the infrastructure around their vehicles will start changing dramatically. Gas stations will become less profitable and may begin closing, especially in states that hit peak gas car earliest. Already, California has more EV charging stations than gas stations, signaling what's ahead. Maintenance networks for gas cars may shrink as demand falls, potentially making repairs more expensive and harder to find. Used gas car values could also decline faster than expected as buyers increasingly prefer EVs, while the resale market shifts toward electric vehicles. Gas car owners may find themselves driving an increasingly obsolete technology sooner than they anticipated.
