The only semi-valid argument from the pro-ICE crowd about the future of electric is the butt-hurt over loss of ICE sound. If they lived 115 years ago, they'd be the ones angry about those noisy horseless carriages. Advancement always moves forward, despite resistance from the "scared of change" crowd.
Electric power puts IC to shame on every front but storage capacity, and that table will tilt in the direction of electric soon. Think "super conductors" and "nano carbon". 
There will be transition periods when ICE and electric power will be facing one another and ICE is going to lose. Very soon...
There is no debate, only logic. Mark my words.
That's it. I won't come back to this thread and argue with anyone as it's pointless.  |
I won't argue ... because I'm 100% with you !
A lot of people I've talked to about electric cars have no idea of what they are talking about and as you said, 115 years ago, they would have been the angry ones against the petrol powered carriages...
Honnestly, as my boxster is a daily driver, I would really want it electric (with the same power).
My family owns the french equivalent of the nissan leaf (renault zoé, the exact same, but good looking), and despite some small defects, it's a real pleasure to drive !
So, I'm happy that I will see more electric cars in the near future !
