I’m not sure I know of a light duty vehicle usage scenario where an internal combustion engine is superior to an electric motor.
Disagree! Unlimited mileage as long as fuel is available in the tank, and nothing else breaks.
With electric, one must always be concerned with fuel. The first time you forget, you will realize the superiority of the other in short order.
I think I’ve been around here long enough to understand those sort of things.
Agreed!
At present, hydrocarbons do have superior power density
and nothing else breaks.
By virtue of it's simplicity a pure electric vehicle has far fewer things can break.

For sure no one wants to run out of fuel of any type, especially on some desolate stretch of road. For this reason, plug-in hybrids may be the mainstay of the emerging EV market for many years until high capacity, low weight electric storage technology comparable in power density to hydrocarbons is widely available.
