... except the EV is objectively better, not worse.
Literally the only thing an ICEV can claim superiority on is refueling time. And even that comes with big caveats: it only applies to road trips, and even then it's unrealistic. Around town, refueling an EV takes essentially zero time, far less than an ICEV. On a road trip, the ICEV does refuel faster, but in real life road trip stops are typically 15-20 minutes anyway, and that's enough to refuel a modern EV.
What's exciting is that while EVs are already objectively better, the underlying technology is still evolving quickly and the future is very bright. We're already able to do things with EVs that aren't even possible with an ICEV, and this is just the beginning.
