Former host of Top Gears, Richard Hammond claims that despite Government ruling, most cars in the UK will still be petrol-run by 2050.
Ex Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond has warned drivers that it's ‘likely’ most cars will still be petrol-run in 2050.
As the 54-year-old shared that a new motoring TV show informing viewers on electric and self-driving cars could help inform drivers on the vehicle.Adding: “But at the current rate of electrification, even if we could keep it up – which we can’t because China is withholding the rare earth minerals we need – by 2050 the majority of cars on the road will still be, and have to be, internal combustion engines.
The motoring fan gained fame for presenting BBC’s Top Gear from 2002 to 2015 with close friends James May and Jeremy Clarkson.
