The superiority of electric drive has been known for decades. It has always been limited battery capacity that made it useful only for things like forklifts and golf carts rather than automotive applications until recently.
And don't underestimate the fun aspect. It's different but definitely very refreshing and joyful. On the contrary, the annoying gear switching of the ICE is nothing I want ever have in an everyday car.
Still, it must be considered that Lithium extraction is a big mess and waste and therefore already old tech. The game will change dramatically with new solid state batteries which are supposed to be ready around 2025. The characteristics of this type of battery is completely different in terms of capacity and charging times. It is not so bad electrification will have its mass breakthrough only then. Time to build more wind power farms and solar power stations.
