Is the electric vehicles better or worse?

Like all tools, it depends on what you use it for. A hammer is great for hammering, but it doesn’t drive screws like a screwdriver does.
I’ve owned ICE and EV vehicles, and I’m currently driving an EV. They’re fantastic for around town, and trips under a few kilometers, but they’re not as good as hybrids or full gassers for road trips. If you’re running low on fuel, a stop at a gas station takes 10 minutes and there’s a lot of them around. If I’m running low on charge, my stop will take about 30-45 minutes, and I’ve either got to plan my route beforehand, or use the build-in nav to estimate my range and the next available charger.
Also, cooling and heating the cabin has more of an effect on range in an EV than an ICE vehicle. While it may only be 10-15km difference, it still has more of an impact.
So…when you’re choosing a tool, determine how it will be used first, then get the one best suited for the job.
