Former General Motors senior executive, Bob Lutz, has declared that improving electric vehicles (EVs) will soon make petrol-powered engines obsolete.

During a recent television interview on CNBC, Lutz said that he believed the electric car future would be upon us in the next five to 10 years.

At that point, Mr Lutz believed that EVs would be good enough for people to abandon models driven by conventional powertrains.

“The day will come when batteries will accept more charge, costs will come down, fast charging will happen, but the whole thing is 5-10 years away,” Lutz said. “At that point, who needs a gasoline engine anymore?”
