Sure but this is almost entirely due to the cost of batteries which are steadily coming down in price. How much longer do you think ICE being cheaper will last? My view is, once Musk gets his 4680 battery factories up to speed it'll be all over for ICE. Call it five years max.

This, but also faster charging and abundance of chargers is needed. I can drive an ICEV / HEV / PHEV anywhere in Europe and refueling is no problem. I can't do that with an EV. And even if I find a charging station, it might be all busy and then what - go to another one or just wait half an hour or more until someone finishes charging.
