| The era of electric cars is coming |
Petrol and diesel vehicles will go up one day. Electric vehicles will come to that place (EV). All the major car manufacturers in the world are now very focused on inventing and making new models of these electric cars.
The era of electric cars is coming
And in two or three decades, petrol and diesel vehicles will be gone in the world. This is because in the next 10 years, the automobile industry will enter the world of electric cars instead of fuel oil to reduce carbon emissions.
As a result, the global car market will be dominated by eco-friendly electric vehicles (EVs). That's why all the big car manufacturers in the world are now busy making new models of electric cars.
Observers say the biggest revolution in the global car industry has taken place since Henry Ford first began producing automobiles in 1913. This revolution will happen faster than you can imagine.
As a result, petrol and diesel-powered motor vehicles will be replaced by environmentally friendly electric vehicles. Car manufacturers are now moving forward with such a plan.
Jaguar, a world-renowned carmaker in the United Kingdom, wants to launch a battery-powered car by 2025. They showcased the Jaguar One Pace at the Brussels Expo in January 2020.
Swedish multinational carmaker Volvo will launch the car in 2030 with another five years. Lotus, a UK sports car company, has announced that it will start selling electric cars in 2026.
The famous General Motors (GM) of the United States will bring electric cars to the market in 2035.
That is, if the use increases, the price will decrease, and if the price decreases, the use will increase.
General Motors had earlier launched a model of an eco-friendly electric vehicle called EV One in January 1998.
Although the company invested hundreds of billions of dollars for this, the initiative failed. Finally, after two decades, they are back on EV production.

Ford Motor, another major carmaker in the country, also said that by 2030, all the cars it will sell in Europe will be electric. German carmaker Fox Wagon also said that by 2030, 80 percent of the cars it sells will be electric cars (EVs).
Japan's Toyota Motor Corporation also wants to supply a large number of electric vehicles to the global market by 2025.
The development of electric cars will be a lot like the internet revolution. That being said, just as the global computer, internet and the world's richest man Jeff Bezos's Amazon or the search engine Yahoo and Google's online services have evolved rapidly in the nineties or early twentieth century, electric cars will also take over the market.
The advent of smartphones has revolutionized internet-based services. Such a big revolution is expected in the global car industry.
Madeleine Tyson, an official at RMI, a US-based clean energy research group, said that a decade ago, charging the battery of an electric car like the Tesla would cost a thousand dollars per kilowatt of electricity. It has come down to 100 now.
Observers say that the market potential of electric vehicles is increasing day by day due to the increase in the use and sales of the market, the cost of computers and the cost of the Internet has decreased.
The market has also risen due to lower prices. The best example of this is that in 1995, the number of Internet users in the world was only 16 million, which increased to 513 million in 2001.
And now more than 300 crore people in the world are using the internet in one way or another. Similarly the use of EV vehicles means the market is expected to grow. That is, if the use increases, the price will decrease, and if the price decreases, the use will increase.

Tesla, the world's second-richest company by Elon Musk, can run up to 300 miles on a single charge. And in 3.1 seconds the speed of this car goes from zero to 60 kilometers.
The market review found that while sales of all other automobiles in the world declined in 2020, sales of EVs increased by 43 percent. A total of 32 lakh cars have been sold.
Elon Musk said last month that the Model Three, an electric car made by his company Tesla, has sold the most. And the relatively cheap Model Y will sell more than all the other cars. "We have noticed a strong interest among consumers in electric vehicles," he said.
UBSO, a Switzerland-based multinational investment bank, says electric cars will account for 20 percent of global car sales by 2025. This rate will increase to 40 percent in 2030.
And all the cars that will be sold in 2040 will be electric cars. If the production of such cars increases, the price will also decrease. Then there will be no diesel and petrol cars in the market.
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh government has also for the first time in the country recognized the owners of electric vehicles in the budget. However, it has been done in advance tax payment.
According to the budget proposal, the owners of such vehicles will also have to pay advance tax. 65 kilowatt car will have to pay advance tax of Tk 25,000.
As the kilowatt increases, so does the amount of advance tax. Owners of 185 kW vehicles will have to pay a maximum advance tax of Tk 2 lakh.
