Sort of the point, we are comparing modes of transportation. We compare ic to ev motor cars from the perspective of an established and accepted infrastructure for the ic motor car. We are also familiar and comfortable with all it's shortcomings. Way back they were making the same comparison between two modes of transportation horse vs motorcar. To some at the time the motor car did not seem like a viable alternative for the future. In part because of the lack of infrastructure to support the motor car and the many other shortcomings of the unrefined ic motorcar due to the the technologies yet to be discovered. Also horses had been around for a while and it's what people of the time were familiar and comfortable with. The shortcomings of the horse were known and accepted. Few if any at that time could imagine what the ic motor car has become today. In the future people will look back at the ic motor car and see that the change from ic motorcars was inevitable. And just as there are people who are horse enthusiasts still today there will probably be ic motor car enthusiasts in the future. The concept for electric cars has been around for a long time the technology to implement the concept has been developing all along. To the point now that you choose if you want an ic of ev motor vehicle. In the future new technology may tip in favor of the ev. Or maybe a new a technology will make both ic and ev obsolete. If and when that happens there will be some who will be against the new technology and in favor of the old. That is almost certain.
