I see it like the horses.
Horses are usually no longer used for transportation, but many people have horses as a hobby. There are horse races in different disciplines.
But certainly a lot more races with combustion cars.
Maybe this could be the way with electrics.
The only difference: From horse to car, the buyers have decided what to use and what is "the better system".
From the combustion engine to the electric , the government decides what is "better", not the buyer. For me it is still very questionable whether this is the right approach.

The way in which a new horse is made and an ICE automobile is made is somewhat different.
