Hmm let's see...
- Batteries now last longer
- There are more EV stations
- Composite materials to make cars lighter but maintain strength.
- More eficiente electronics
- Less reliance on hydraulics (using oil for steering and brakes), shift towards electric steering and brake-by-wire (Also: The 2014 Camaros also use electric steering)
- Low rolling-resistance tires
etc
etc
etc

It won't ever go away, but it sure is much less interesting than it used to be, and I predict that interest in ICE will drop eve more in the near future. I've always lost total interest in ICE, at least for cars. My GF's next car will also be electric (we have installed 2 EV chargers in our new home), and there is at least 1 other EV car owner on our street already (A Tesla... son of a bitch!!). Montreal is adding another 100 EV charging stations including street-side charging stations in the next 2 years. Will ICE disappear? No. But is it now old, dirty, stupid for commuters, and boring as fuck? You betcha.
