Sure, capitalism wins here as usual - there has been well over a century worth of r&d to make insanely cheap ICE vehicles at scale. With electric vehicles, even Tesla doesn't have two decades (of which they spent a lot of time in small production) under their belt.
Take away the subsidies and ICE vehicles win out again - there is no other way than subsidies to overcome the chicken and egg problem.
