Re: Twilight for the traditional ICE automobile

As someone once said "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
As a kid we were told that by 2000 we'd all be driving electric cars. If anything it looks further away than ever.
Currently the only true enemy of ICE is politicians and idiots.
Twats who've somehow managed to accrue more money than sense, will buy hybrids to assuage their White Liberal guilt. And keyboard warriors will keep telling us how wonderful the Tisla is.
But the ICE will outlive them all.
It's like Coal. The Hippies hate it (and ironically with Good reason) yet we keep digging new mines and building new coal-fired power stations.
I also suspect, that as more Hybrids and EVs are sold, and their bull**** is exposed, their massive drawbacks will become public knowledge. And this may actually dampen future sales.
I'm actually curious as to how much improvement is possible in Battery technology. Is it ever actually going to rival the ICE?
