You know, people get easily impressed by "new advances in science" even when they're not so new at all, just like BEVs which existed for more than 100 years, yet marketing made them cool again in the eyes of the current endorsers. Not to mention some tree-huggers praise the "alternative" lifestyle of the hippies, yet look with disdain to someone who would rather pour old frying oil right into the tank of some old car with a perfectly-mantained IDI Diesel engine instead of embracing the electrification craze which has been more politically-centered than customer-centered. Nobody who prefers an ICE seems to be willing to ban EVs, while some rather fanatical EV converts just seem to forget the ICE even has a role providing backup electrical power on gensets for instance.
