>Electric cars are older than ICEs. The main reason EVs aren't so hot is still stable energy storage. Hydrocarbons are still king.
While there is a few years apart as to when they both started, it doesn't negate the fact that EVs were tossed aside and ICE vehicles have around 120 years of development head start. They are more expensive and don't work quite as expected precisely because of this. And while EVs have actively, properly been developing only for the past 20 years or so, they have practically narrowed the gap with ICE cars by about 90%. They're already better in some sense, like acceleration, torque, etc and in about 10-15 years they're are going to be on par or better in every sense.
But the best thing about EVs is the electric part, that is to say electricity is source agnostic. It doesnt matter where energy comes from, be it coal, solar, nuclear, once you establish an electrical net, and points, you can charge everywhere, forever. So even if something changes in the backend you switch from coal to solar, or from solar to nuclear, or to some new sources for generating power, it all still works at the frontend.
