Let’s be honest modern ICE vehicles aren’t loud and pollute very minimally.

Despite the complexity of ICE vehicles a high quality diesel motor last 3 times longer than EV batteries. They’re very efficient and durable even under duress. I’ve had multiple diesel vehicles that lasted over 300k miles and were still working perfectly when I sold them and with minimal repairs.

Modern cars can be disabled with software as well but the cars I drive can’t be. They’re all pre software dependent.

Battery tech has undergone a lot of improvements and still is 25% worse than ICE ranges on average. Seems to be plateauing but jury is out on that. Charge time is the real killer for EVs. In emergencies it’s a major issue and not having access to transportation while it charges is a huge problem. EVs can’t compete here.

I’ve taken some huge road trips out to very remote areas and realize EVs can’t reliably take me on those trips too. EVs have a lot of shortcomings vs ICE and in many regards are a scam and when you look at how they’re marketed.
