Internal combustion engines are extremely reliable. Gasoline engines in cars can easily go 300K miles if maintained. Diesel engines in container ships can go 100K hours between overhauls. Using terms like "flailing" exposes your ignorance and prejudice. Diesel engines (which have pistons) will not be replaced anytime soon in many areas of transportation, such as container ships. EVs will have a roll in the areas where they make the most sense; personal transportation. I can only speak for me but out accelerating someone at a stop light is not something I ever care to do. Very childish.

It is just intuitively LOGICAL as to which one is going to be MORE RELIABLE. And E-vehicle has a lower center of gravity, which has INCREDIBLE advantages and also battery power vehicles have MUCH GREATER torque. A 50K Tesla can beat a 100K Corvette from zero to at least 50 MPH, maybe higher. Which is most US city speed limits. So basically, if you want to kick Butt from a stop light, get an E-vehicle.
