The vehicle that is propelled by electric motors or non liquid fuel is here to stay. It is the mainstream of the current vehicle market. It is also the immediate future and when we say electric vehicle, we mean vehicles that are plug-in hybrids or fuel cell powered vehicles. We add to this also The totally electric regenerative non plug in vehicle that could exist now; no charging required and no hydrogen gas refueling as required with the fuel cell but an electric vehicle that recharges while driving, using the electric energy generated from the motion of the vehicle. Its like the Prius but with a larger battery and the same energy regeneration while breaking or while driving. The Hondas/Acuras charge while driving it seems with electric motors in the wheels. The Toyotas recharge while breaking or driving. This is electric propulsion. It seems that the non-plug in hybrid that recharges with regenerative breaking or while driving is not considered an electric vehicle maybe because it is a hybrid with an internal combustion engine. But it might be preferred to anything that you have to plug in and is certainly just as electric as anything that requires plug in recharging although there is an internal combustion engine on board.

According to a 2022 article in Panorama magazine in its observance of the new electric propulsion phenomenon at one annual Car Show and race,

it seems that the crowd at Goodwood was not all-in on electric power. The difference in reaction from the crowd between the start of the 997 hybrid, Porsche's first competition hybrid car, and the electric GT4 showed that for many, the sound of an engine firing is more attractive than a cooling fan for an electric motor.

Race fans like to have the sound and smell of the cars assault their senses, and the electric car doesn't do that.

We see that in the future, the average car buyer, pedestrian and driver will want to know what is wrong with that person whose car makes noises, emits smells and emits smoke or fumes from those archaic exhaust pipes and mufflers. Such drivers and the owners of such vehicles will be frowned upon when we ask why should propulsion assault our air, our emotions and our experience in general? It is no longer necessary whether you are racing or just driving to get to the shops.
