It’s safe to say I think that EV and ICE will both have a place for a long time yet and it’s probably why makers like Toyota have not fully jumped into the EV segment yet perhaps?

Thermal runaway is less and less of an issue as we move away from Cobalt in batteries. LFP batteries, which 90% plus of all sales in Australia are, don't suffer thermal runaway events.

Yes and no for them to co-exist. If govts push with policies, ICE will be relegated to secondhand only.
