Just about any ICE is far more practical than an EV. Why else have they been used exclusively for over 120 years.
EV’s are just being used in an attempt to keep people from travelling and destroy the ICE. There is no infrastructure to support EV’s and what little there is is heavily centralized and poised to be shut down at a moments notice.
There were attempts on EV at the dawn of car revolution. Among others, Edison spend a big portion of his fortune on wain attempts to build competitive EV.
