There has been market research and this 'attached to ICE' is true as long as people don't see a viable option that the can compare to.

There will surely people who will hold on to ICE but if you can buy a produce that has electric drive train and competes on all metric its is incredibly unlikely that it would not find a market.

Specially if it has features that ICE don't have, like the ability to attach power tools.
