This Is What Electric Cars Will Do to the U.S. Gas Demand

Demand for U.S. gasoline is expected to fall by 5% — and could be cut by as much as 20%

Demand for U.S. gasoline is expected to fall by 5% — and could be cut by as much as 20% — over the next two decades, according to a new report released Monday by energy consulting firm Wood Mackenzie. The culprit? Electric cars.

The U.S. currently uses more than 9 million barrels of gasoline a day. According to the report, if electric cars gain more than 35% market share by 2035, the U.S. could see a cut from 9 million to 2 million barrels used a day.
