I was making the same ICE arguments in RC land for a long time, that power, weight, cost, range were all in favor of the ICE.
But going around smelling like nitromethane (inconvenience) and trying to get your motor to start was enough to really swing lots of people to go electric, and the costs have been coming down ever since.
I don't know what the automotive analogy is exactly, but it may offer a glimmer of hope anyway.
