I do think that there will be plenty of good affordable EV's for sale in 5 years from now, but next to it I see fuel engines remain on the market for a long time, in (mild) hybrid form.

I'm just repeating what automotive journalists report in the popular press.
Those ICE 'efficiency' improvements you're thinking about are part of the increased costs, which when added to the calculus of automotive pricing lead to the conclusion that BEVs will achieve price parity by 2025.
What consumers do from there remains the mystery.
