As Visual Capitalist's Nicholas LePan notes, there is actually much more to oil's role, than meets the eye.... Oil, along with natural gas, has hundreds of different uses in a modern vehicle through petrochemicals.
Today's infographic comes to us from American Fuel & Petrochemicals Manufacturers, and covers why oil is a critical material in making the EV revolution possible.
Plastics were not always a critical material in auto manufacturing industry, but over time plastics such as polypropylene and polyurethane became indispensable in the production of cars.
Today, plastics and polymers are used for hundreds of individual parts in an electric vehicle.
Oil is most known as a source of fuel, but petrochemicals also have many other useful physical properties.
Petrochemicals will play a critical role in the mass adoption of electric vehicles by reducing their weight and improving their ranges and efficiency.
Although it seems counterintuitive, petrochemicals derived from oil and natural gas make the major advancements by today's EVs possible - and the continued use of petrochemicals will mean that both EVS and traditional vehicles will become even lighter, faster, and more efficient.
