Future cars will be moved forward by electric engines. That's not even debatable.
The power, reliability and efficiency are in a whole different bracket than in ICEs.
What IS up for debate is how the power for those engines is stored in the car. Currently we're going with batteries or liquid combustion fuels (PHEV and serial hybrids).
Yes, there are very specific use-cases and industries where EVs don't work today, but the tech is developing insanely fast.
