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.

huh? you're actually trying to claim battery tech is NOT holding back EV? You're claiming an EV station that simply charges a car at 220/110 is a tech advancement? that's simply an electrical cord with a fancy plug.
everything else you mentioned is tech directly NOT attributable to EVs.
you must have never had a real passion for beautiful incredible cars and vehicles to be so disgusted by them now simply because they run on gasoline. that's fine and all, but no need to try and project that on us.
