No, far from it.EV's are in their infancy
"Electric vehicles first appeared in the mid-19th century." See here.
It's ICE vehicles that have changed very little. Still a gas explosion to move a piston. Modern EVs went from DC motors to a very complicated wave shape in three pulses 120 degrees apart for each one RPM. They keep on making improvements to that waveshape. For an example, one of the OTA updates increased my range by a few miles.
Can you increase your MPG while asleep with your ICE vehicles as I can with my Tesla?
It's ICE vehicles that are STILL in their infancy. Only very minor improvements. But major improvements with EVs in the same time.
What really happened is the ICE vehicles were so slow in their improvements that EVs got way ahead of them in performance, efficiency and just about everything else.
