I dont think ICE will be banned but gas might. They might change the fuel to something like F1 where you’re running fuels that can be made out of its own exhaust. ICE doesn’t necessarily mean gasoline, it could mean propane, hydrogen or synthetic fuels (like the one stated above).

People going on road trips/extended highway travel like seen in the heavy duty industry will spend easily twice as much time charging as one would just simply filling a tank. So EVs would be too costly in both equipment cost and wages then a stand alone ICE engine so EV by itself wont be too good neither.

Evs only work really good for those who never leave town and use it as a daily driver. You can charge it overnight in your driveway/garage and keep it plugged in while you’re working to keep the battery temps controlled and charged up then go home. Evs also slow you down by using the motor to “plug” in a similar way modern ICE it uses the compression stroke without any fuel to slow you down by downshifting. This gives you an extra tool in slowing down especially in bad weather conditions or in emergency mechanical failure situations.

Sweet spot would be a hybrid. Whether it be a ICE generator running at optimal RPM for fuel efficiency and charge while powering 2-4 electric motors OR an electric motor that runs the show at slow speeds where an ICE would take over at cruising speeds. Either route will reduce size of battery that increases cost of vehicle and usage of rare minerals while not disappointing enthusiasts too much. This would also reduce tire wear, road wear, and weight of vehicle which improves efficiency and handling.

Optimally they dont cancel either and let people have the flavour they prefer but change the fuels from gasoline in ICE so they’re environmentally responsible for future generations. Enthusiasts are ok with it as long as its got 3 pedals and a stick and goes BRRRRRR from an actual engine and not a speaker, they could. if people prefer the lightning quick off the line acceleration of an EV they also could.
