I’m not convinced that EV is the end all solution … I think there will have to be some improvement to ICE engines and fuel.[/quote]
That’s not likely. ICE there’s not much left in pure ICE vehicles to improve efficiency/emissions. Currently already near the realistic efficiency limits of thermodynamics of ICE.
However, at this stage in the battery dev cycle, moving every car to a hybrid is better than full EVs. You could get to higher global fuel economy and lower emissions faster than pure EVs. Especially when the EVs coming out are primarily luxury and heavy vehicles.
In 20 years, if solid state batteries are cheap enough, ICE will be obsolete.
