They don't have to. Just like combustion cars haven't been a full replacement for the horse as a mode of transport, horses are still a better option for some areas.
It's very likely that combustion cars will still exist in some form in 200 years for niche use, but for most other things things will be changed to accommodate EVs, just like they now accommodate combustion cars.
- temporallobe 8y agoThe horse and the car are not analogous. The car was not a 1:1 replacement for the horse, but a huge leap in range and speed, and an entire infrastructure (roads and gas stations) was but around it. EVs, however, ARE intended to be a more or less 1:1 replacement for the ICE vehicle, but there is very little infrastructure being built around it, and for the consumer, the EV is not an improvement over the ICE in any way.
