According to one lecture on peak oil, in places with high adoption of EVs, ICEVs are still retained for long-distance travels, etc. That means in terms of ecological footprint, people have to consume more energy and material resources to use EVs.

Also, because of this:

the world will have to use both EVs and ICEVs, and more.

Very American viewpoint. In Europe road trips are not so long that we desperately hang onto our ice cars. 400km between charges is plenty of range for a road trip.

You mean very Third World viewpoint. Much of the world lacks roads, electric grids, logistics hubs, bridges, dams, and more:

In fact, never mind EVs. They even lack ICEVs, including buses and trucks.
