Not much else out there in ways I see it being superior.
Electric engines provides super efficiency, it's in the 90'ish. Diesel is the 30'ish, petrol is even below these numbers. Beeing charged at the most "dirty" way (charcoal) EV is more clean than ICE.
Economically, not at this stage, EV is not a mature tech, it will be industrialized within 5 years or so. And beeing a simpler, faster car to manufactor, less workers are needed to assemble it, so it will be cheaper within the next 8-10 years.
For current EV owners, they enjoy a far cheaper ownership from their EV than any former ICE ever has.
And because of this, insurance is cheaper as well.

The beauty is in the EV simplicity, an ICE is made from several thousand parts, and transmission as well.
Convinience, no noise is comfort, no exhaust is a joy also.
Range, no, but within 3-5 years it's "enough".

A ICE is hopelessly outdated these days, it's best days are behind it.
