You say that the internal combustion engine took 100 years to become what it is today. BUT, most of those 100 years saw very little change for years at a time.
And, to further complicate things, why then are electric cars not superior to gasoline engine cars? They were here FIRST. The vast majority of cars between 1880 and 1910 were electric. They carried big, heavy, inefficient batteries that took a long time to recharge - if the car owner even had electricity available to him to recharge with.
By your line of reasoning, electric cars should have surpassed ICE cars a long time ago simply because they have been around longer. However, I can answer that. It is because electric cars have limited viability. They are still inferior to gasoline and diesel powered vehicles for a number of reasons. Charging times are too long. Range is too short. Batteries are too heavy. And, it takes years of research and development to bring basic things like heaters, air conditioning, and other "creature comforts" up to the "standard" of a gasoline powered car.
