Disney has announced that the Autopia ride will be converted from gasoline power to electric as part Disney's efforts to go green by converting to fully electric.

Autopia, a gas-powered attraction located within Disneyland’s Tomorrowland in California, is reportedly going green by going fully electric. According to the Los Angeles Times, citing a Disney spokesperson, Disney has decided to find "alternative fuel sources.

The classic Disney attraction, which first opened at the theme park in 1955, gives younger guests the chance to drive cars for the first time. The ride’s current theming premiered in the early 2000s — although in 2016, the park switched from a Chevron to a Honda theme. The change comes following the southern California theme park's big win of a massive expansion project slated for the next four decades.

Anaheim's Planning Commission reviewed and approved the "multi-billion-dollar DisneylandForward project that would expand the theme park and bring more rides, hotels, and entertainment to Anaheim," FOX 11 Los Angeles reported. The move could potentially bring lands similar to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, which opened in 2019 at Disneyland.
