00:00it begins subtly almost silently the world outside your window is changing not with a bang
00:08but with a gentle shift that's easy to miss if you're not paying attention the streets once
00:13filled with the constant drone of engines are growing quieter by the day at city intersections
00:18the familiar rumble of engines is fading replaced by a quiet hum the soundtrack of urban life is
00:24being rewritten as electric vehicles glide through the streets with barely a whisper transforming the
00:30very atmosphere of our neighborhood this is the sound of a revolution the rise of the electric
00:36vehicle it's not just a technological upgrade it's a cultural shift a reimagining of how we move live
00:43and connect with our environment for over a century oil-powered cars defined freedom and mobility they
00:51shaped our cities our economies and even our dreams of the open road the roar of the engine
00:57became a symbol of progress and possibility now that era is ending the transition is visible everywhere
01:04from empty gas stations to parking lots where electric vehicles steadily outnumber their gas
01:09powered predecessors the world is moving on and the pace is accelerating electric vehicles are not a
01:15passing trend they're a permanent accelerating shift automakers are investing billions and entire
01:20industries are pivoting to meet the demand the future of transportation is being built today in
01:25showrooms and factories around the globe imagine commuting without gas stations just plugging in at
01:31home no more early morning stops for fuel no more fumes just the simple convenience of charging
01:37overnight ready to go each morning for millions that's already reality families across the world are
01:43embracing this new normal enjoying quieter rides cleaner air and the satisfaction of being part of something
01:50bigger every ev sold chips away at oil's dominance and the numbers are staggering sales are breaking
01:56records year after year and the momentum shows no sign of slowing down in 2024 evs displaced over 1.3
02:04million barrels of oil demand daily equal to japan's entire transport oil use that's a seismic shift
02:10one that's sending ripples through global markets and energy policies by 2030 the international energy
02:17energy agency projects this will surge to over 5 million barrels per day the impact will be felt
02:22everywhere from city streets to the highest levels of government and industry oil exporting nations face a
02:28new reality the market is shifting from endless growth to fierce competition for shrinking demand the old
02:34certainties are gone replaced by uncertainty and the urgent need to adapt the quiet hum of an electric car
02:41signals the end of an era and the start of a new global energy landscape it's a transformation that
02:47touches every aspect of our lives from the air we breathe to the jobs we do winners will adapt those
02:54who don't will be left behind the future belongs to those who embrace change innovate and lead the way into
03:00this electrified age the revolution is here reshaping our streets and our world its impact will echo for decades as we
03:09drive forward into a cleaner quieter and more sustainable future
03:17nowhere is this transformation more dramatic than in china in just a few short years the country has
03:22become the epicenter of a global revolution in transportation the streets of its cities once choked
03:28with the roar and fumes of gasoline engines now hum quietly with the energy of electric vehicles this is
03:34not just a technological shift it's a cultural and economic one reshaping daily life for millions
03:40nearly half of all new cars sold in china are electric a mainstream shift not a luxury niche families
03:47from all walks of life are choosing evs for their affordability reliability and the promise of a cleaner
03:53future dealerships are bustling with activity as buyers compare the latest models and incentives from
03:59the government make the switch even more appealing china now accounts for two-thirds of global ev sales
04:05and 70 percent of production rewriting the rules of the auto industry the scale is staggering massive
04:13factories operate around the clock churning out vehicles that are shipped not just across china but
04:18around the world this industrial might is setting new standards for efficiency and innovation byd a chinese
04:25company leads the world in ev production outpacing even tesla once a battery manufacturer byd has
04:33transformed itself into a global automotive powerhouse exporting vehicles to dozens of countries and
04:38setting the pace for the entire industry the impact is clear china's gasoline and diesel production dropped
04:4510 percent in 2025 as millions switched to electric refineries that once ran at full capacity are now
04:52scaling back and gas stations are seeing fewer customers than ever before gasoline demand is now
04:58no higher than during the covet 19 lockdowns despite a fully reopened economy the site of empty gas stations
05:05and streets filled with silent emission-free vehicles is becoming the new normal in many chinese cities
05:10china's ev fleet already displaces over 1 million barrels of oil daily with more to come public
05:17transportation is also going electric with fleets of buses and taxis making the switch
05:22further accelerating the decline in oil consumption as the world's largest oil importer china's shift
05:28is shaking global markets oil prices are more volatile and countries that once relied on chinese
05:33demand are being forced to rethink their strategies in the future china may even export surplus gasoline and
05:40diesel adding pressure to global prices this reversal of roles could have far-reaching consequences for
05:46energy markets worldwide as china transitions from a major importer to a potential exporter china isn't
05:53just participating in the ev transition it's leading it and the world is feeling the effects
05:59the country's commitment to electrification is setting a powerful example inspiring other nations to
06:05accelerate their own transitions the engine of oil demand is sputtering and china is driving the
06:11change as the electric age accelerates the world is watching and following china's lead into a cleaner
06:18quieter and more sustainable future
06:23the electric revolution isn't just about cars trucks and heavy vehicles are joining in
06:28these workhorses once diesel dependent are rapidly going electric especially in china
06:33in 2020 69 percent of new light duty trucks in china were diesel by 2025 that's dropped below 50 percent
06:41with electric models surging to 15 percent heavy-duty trucks are following with battery swapping
06:46technology enabling quick refueling and slashing downtime sales of battery swappable heavy trucks soared
06:5394 percent in 2024 this shift is making electric trucking viable and attractive for logistics
06:59globally heavy-duty evs are expected to displace nearly one million barrels of oil demand by 2030
07:07as electric trucks hit highways worldwide diesel's dominance is eroding the electrification of
07:12commercial fleets is the next frontier and it's accelerating fast the future of heavy transport is electric and
07:19oil producers are feeling the pressure
07:24the ev shift is global with each region moving at its own pace
07:28from bustling cities to serene countrysides electric vehicles are becoming a common sight
07:34this transformation is not just about technology it's about a shift in mindset and priorities
07:39by the end of 2024 nearly 58 million electric cars were on the road triple the number from 2021
07:47this rapid growth is a testament to the increasing consumer demand and the global push for sustainable
07:52transportation solutions Norway leads with 88 percent of new cars fully electric
07:58slashing road fuel demand by 12 percent in just three years the country's commitment to green
08:04energy is evident in its policies and infrastructure making it a model for others to follow the uk and
08:10denmark are surging too with strong policies driving evs to 30 percent and 56 percent of new sales
08:17respectively these nations are investing heavily in charging infrastructure and offering incentives to make
08:23the switch to electric more appealing in the u.s adoption is slower but significant seven percent of
08:30global ev sales come from america and the number is rising with major automakers ramping up production
08:37and new models hitting the market the future looks promising policy incentives and consumer interest are
08:43reshaping markets from europe to california governments are recognizing the environmental and economic
08:49benefits of evs leading to more supportive measures the message is clear evs are no longer a novelty
08:57they're mainstream and they're here to stay as more people experience the benefits of electric driving
09:02the momentum continues to build the global energy landscape is shifting one electric car at a time
09:08renewable energy sources are increasingly powering these vehicles creating a cleaner and more sustainable future
09:15the transition is real and it's accelerating every electric car on the road represents a step towards
09:20a greener planet and the journey has only just begun the rapid rise of evs has thrown oil demand
09:29forecasts into chaos opec predicts strong demand growth banking on slower ev adoption in developing nations
09:36the iea is more cautious seeing demand growth slowing and even peaking in developed countries the gap
09:42between forecasts is huge hundreds of thousands of barrels per day the big question will evs spread
09:49fast enough in asia africa and latin america to offset declines elsewhere the future of oil is more
09:56uncertain than ever for new oil producers like guyana and namibia the game has changed they're entering a
10:05market where demand growth is vanishing and competition is fierce the lowest cost producers like saudi arabia
10:11will win high-cost newcomers face real risks china's shift to evs means less crude demand and more refined
10:19product exports flooding global markets the era of easy oil money is over new producers must act fast
10:26using oil revenues to diversify their economy the window to profit from oil is closing quickly price
10:32volatility and competition will only intensify strategic adaptation is now a matter of survival the future
10:39belongs to those who pivot not those who cling to the past
10:46the ev transition faces real obstacles evs are just one percent of the world's 1.6 billion vehicles
10:53replacing the rest will take decades policy support is crucial but fragile and charging infrastructure
10:59lags behind sales without reliable widespread charging many buyers remain hesitant the road to an
11:05all-electric future will be long complex and uneven the ev revolution depends on more than just cars it's
11:15about batteries and power grids key battery materials like lithium and cobalt are concentrated in a few
11:20countries with china dominating processing this creates supply risks and geopolitical tension meanwhile
11:27millions of evs will strain electricity grids especially as fast charging expands upgrading grids and
11:34diversifying material supply will take massive investment and years of effort the world must build the backbone
11:40for an electric future not just the vehicles these challenges will shape the pace of the transition
11:45new oil nations must rethink their future ruthless efficiency and low production costs are essential
11:54for survival in a shrinking market oil revenues should be used to diversify economies and invest in clean
12:00energy the smartest strategy treat oil as a bridge not a destination invest in education renewables and new
12:08industries the window to adapt is short those who act now will thrive the future belongs to those who prepare for a world beyond oil
