Is any ICE car is able to deliver on all these benchmarks? I'm confident in my guess of "no."
Most ICE cars have parts that start failing at increasing levels of expense at 40k, 60k, 100k miles, so expecting that all of those benchmarks need to be achieved for an electric car in addition to some ridiculously high mileage on the battery is very unreasonable.
