This bar chart illustrates the distribution of responses to a question posed to European survey participants in 2014 regarding their expectations of which vehicle fuel type will be the standard in 25 years' time. It appears that those surveyed expected that electric vehicles will become increasingly important in the coming years, as over half of respondents stated that they expect either electric or hybrid vehicles to become the standard drive technology by 2029.
