There's multiple kinds of complexity. Mechanically, an ICE is more complex. But materially, its arguably less complex, since it doesn't rely on rare e...

"It doesn't rely on rare earths" It relies on petrochemicals of which there are limited amounts, and certainly the amount you can burn is very limited if you don't want big environmental problems later.

There are solutions. Hydrogen fuel cells have great energy density, although operating needs care. Better for buses, trucks and taxis where the driver can be properly trained to deal with the dangers of leaks.

You can use sodium batteries which are extremely cheap, extremely safe, operate in environments you can't use petrol in let alone lithium. The only drawback is they have about half the energy density of lithium batteries. But for something so cheap who cares if you can only get half the range? Plenty of people will buy that
