The overall technology of EV is better than ICE but that doesn't mean every EV is better than every ICE.
Cars may be better than horses but no horse ever exploded the way a Ford Pinto would.
Given that there was significant overlap between when cannons were introduced and horses were phased out of general warfare, I have no doubt that many unfortunate horses have in fact exploded.
Great, now I'm thinking about the Trojan horse but with high explosives.
