No matter what anybody says, the internal combustion engine powered vehicle is still the gold standard to which all challengers are compared.
The hard line folks that insist that electric is the future will not give up no matter how dirty or damaging electric will be to the environment. Every form of energy production results in environmental effects. Some are worse than others, but they all have an effect.
It seems to me that the vehicles of the future should look more towards locomotive technology for the best compromise solution.
