ICE vehicles can be finicky as well (but the technology has matured over a century) but yes, they aren’t quite totally better in every way.

They certainly work in the snow though, but there is range penalties in the cold. Gas cars stop working when they aren’t in their optimal conditions as well than includes having enough fuel.

I think requiring reliable electric infrastructure for charging cars is a good investment in the future because reliable power is good for more than just cars.

That is way too polarised. In a world just introducing ICE cars, gas stations once where rare too—without those, you’d be short of luck as well. Give it a bit of time, and you’ll have a reliable charging grid.

Additionally, much of the fear of running out of electricity has been instilled by the oil and car lobby. The problem is hugely inflated over the actual experience of driving an EV in reality.

And in terms of finickiness, there are SO many ways an ICE can break, so many replacement parts, maintenance requirements, and complexity compared to an electric engine. You’re just used to those in ICEs.

True, but i want to still be able to use my car when shit hits the fan, like in a storm or even in a war, there were photos of teslas left out in the cold in ukraine.

While with an ICE car all you need is just a gallon of gas.

The difference is for EVs they are finicky to use, while ICE vehicles are finicky mechanically, which doesn't seem to be an issue in day to day driving.
