Electric cars were the leaders in the very beginning. Gas was hard to get and very expensive. The tech was taking off but then gas got cheap (and the oil companies suppressed the battery tech as they got richer) cars started reaching more areas that still didn't even HAVE electricity and... well e know the rest of the story.

Now things are going back to that beginning. Imagine where we would be with battery tech by now if it had progressed alongside ICE for the last 150 years or so!
