Hybrid Cars Could Vanish Sooner Than Expected: A New Forecast Through 2030.
Hybrid Vehicles on the Brink of Disappearance
According to Novyny.live: Hybrid cars may exit the market faster than anticipated, driven by the growing dominance of electric vehicles. Chinese expert Ouyang Mingao predicts that by 2030, eco-friendly vehicles will account for over 70% of all sales in China. This trend signals a major shift in the automotive landscape, as consumers increasingly choose battery-powered cars over hybrids.
The Shift Toward Electric Technology
Forecasts indicate that by 2040, the share of eco-friendly vehicles will exceed 80%. This points to a rapid transition to new technologies and a diminishing role for traditional hybrid models. A key factor behind this change is the evolving ratio between pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids, which is expected to shift from 7:3 to 9:1. This means electric vehicles are becoming more popular and in greater demand among consumers.
Hybrid production still makes up a significant portion of catalogs for companies like Geely, BYD, Volkswagen, and Stellantis. However, new research highlighting the advantages of electric vehicles in using renewable energy makes it clear that hybrid technology may give way to fully electric models.

As a result, the car market is undergoing substantial changes, and hybrid models may be nearing extinction due to the benefits offered by electric vehicles. According to forecasts, the future of the automotive market will increasingly be linked to clean technologies, reflecting important shifts in consumer attitudes and the industry as a whole.
The growing popularity of electric cars, alongside declining interest in hybrids, sends a strong signal to automakers. They must adapt their strategies to meet new market demands. This could also influence government policies on environmental and energy issues, as rising EV sales may encourage investments in charging infrastructure and renewable energy sources. By transitioning to green technologies, countries can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality.
