I just can't comprehend why you would want an ice vehicle if electric is even available.
EV's are superior tools in almost every conceivable metric. There are some edge cases where this isn't true, and there are issues around price and how heavily we subsidize ice vehicles, but even then, EV's are objectively better.
I live in a flat with shitty grid in a country with lackluster charger infrastructure.
Yes there are still places where EVs simply aren't usable, whatever 'conceivable metrics' the previous commenter mentioned for some reason totally ignore this.
Source: I have an EV, it is sometimes easier to just rent an ICE vehicle for long trips.
Just happens that the "only" negative is the biggest for many people, long trips in a country without reliable charging infrastructure. Like most, this is solved having two vehicles, being one a gas or diesel.
An ICE has absolutely nothing over a PHEV.
This post is not about ICE or PHEV. And definitely not about comparing ICE to PHEV.
Except having to carry around two complete powertrains.
Neither true, nor a drawback.
internal combustion engine bruh maybe you new here
