I am a mechanical engineer so I don't know a lot about EVs and I like ICEs better then EVs but I think EVs will continue to develop and improve as people want to buy them.

The ICE will be around for a long time but it seems a lot more resources are going into the EV.

Coal, gas and oil have fueled the industrial revolution for 100 years but can't do it for the next 100 years.

The Coronavirus crisis is going to turn a lot more people against fossil fuels as they see reduced levels of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the lower fossil fuel consumption.
