Are you factoring in how the infrastructure itself is also changing and capable of more change, and at a different rate of change, like the electric vehicles that are being designed and built? Or do you believe that parallel transition of vehicle and infrastructure technology is impossible?
It seems clear that the significant R&D and engineering investment by all major global mfs is going into electric. Even after the recent decline, Tesla market cap is greater than or equal to all the other major mfrs combined--and they're all investing mostly in electric.
I'm a die hard ZLE owner and our other 2 cars are ICE (Acura and Lexus), but every time I drive a Tesla I'm amazed by the acceleration, smooth handling and technology throughout. Next car will be a Tesla, keeping the ZLE. There will always be a significant need for ICE/Hybrid vehicles, I would never go exploring, camping, hunting, etc in a remote region like the mountains or jungle without an ICE engine and extra containers of fuel.

We've owned 3 Tesla's now, our current one is a Model X Plaid. They are amazing vehicles to drive, especially for a daily driver. We haven't traveled more than 200 miles in ours in one sitting so I can't speak for how well they work for traveling although I have a coworker that takes his all over the country and seems to enjoy it.
