Besides the raw materials requirement for a larger battery-powered range, another aspect I would consider is the suitability of an ICE to resort to some organic matter as a feedstock for biofuels such as ethanol and biomethane, instead of simply leaving it to rot away while releasing raw methane into the atmosphere. In the end, the ICE is still more relevant to the sustainability than some folks seem to believe.
