The overall technology of EV is better than ICE but that doesn't mean every EV is better than every ICE.

Cars may be better than horses but no horse ever exploded the way a Ford Pinto would.

I'm not entirely against EVs but they're simply not ready for me yet. I think an actual usuable 300 mile range would be enough for me which we're probably approaching quite soon. The biggest problem though is the cost and complete lack of nice estate car EVs. £10k is usually my budget for a new car and I very rarely pay that.

Ah yes, I do remember preferring the electrical horse back then.
