I agree, and I am an ICE diehard. I think EVs are the best way forward, but I will keep my ICE project car, I already have it after all, and use it for hobby motorsport.
The daily commuter can be electric. They are just more fit for purpose. I first drove a Nissan Leaf expecting the car to be gimmicky with weird driving characteristics, but it's a incredibly competent feeling car. You immediately notice how much better it is for city driving, in ways you didn't realise your ICE car was deficient in.
