However, Pod Point did not set a date on when they believe petrol and diesel cars could become a thing of the past.
They said: “At this time, there are no plans for all, existing or new, petrol and diesel vehicles, LPG-fuelled or hybrid cars to be replaced by electric vehicles on a mandatory basis in the UK.
“It’s expected that most ICE cars will slowly disappear off the roads, as the ban on their sales comes into effect from 2035.”
Previous analysis from Cox Automotive predicts interest in petrol and diesel vehicles will drop off in the coming years.
Analysis found the share of diesel vehicles on UK roads will fall to just 3% in the next few years.
They expect petrol will also fall to just a 35% share by 2028 as more drivers jump to electric models.
Meanwhile, EV share of registrations will grow by 160% versus 2020-23 volumes to 2.3 million units or 28% of sales by 2028.
UK-based car manufacturers are slowly being forced away from producing petrol and diesel models due to the tough new Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) mandate rules.
This year, firms have been told they must ensure at least 28% of their total car sales are electric.
The target increases every year with firms having to meet an 80% sales target by the end of the decade.
The stakes are high, with manufacturers slapped with heavy fines of £15,000 per car over the threshold unless they buy credits from firms who have met the goal.
Last year’s 22% deadline forced many companies to implement heavy discounts on EVs to meet the strict target.
