Another big difference to ICE is that all quality differences of electrics are highly relevant to their users (range, range, range and the amount of charging hassle required to fulfill your usage pattern), whereas ICE can already be good enough for a user that doesn't want/need/can go fast at an extremely low level of sophistication. Any quality metrics beyond "the engine reliably starts and goes tuk tuk until I arrive where I need to be" are mostly about externalities (noise, stink, other forms of emission) not directly relevant to the user. Cheap BEV manufacturers will see a wildly different incentive structure towards better tech than their ICE brethren (or former selves)
