You're also wrong about ICE vehicles always holding the largest market share. We're at the beginning stage of developing EVs, yet ICE vehicles have had 100 years to develop. The low hanging fruit of improving ICE vehicles has been picked. A year over year increase in EV market share has been ongoing since 2011.
That's a summary of one of the quotes. The rest have to do with the longevity and potential of failure.

I never said they would have the largest market share. I stated that they would always be relevant.
