If I had some wimpy uncomfortable cheap EV (honestly, I've never test-driven an extreme example of that, so can't even spit out an extreme example model), and went into a recent well-optioned Mercedes S65 in good condition and with Magic Body Control or similar Active Suspension (that reads potholes), I'd find the ICE more comfortable and superior in every possible way and metric (including smoothness, noise, reaction time, sportiness, comfort, ambiance, atmosphere, etc.). Your question seems kind of overly broad.
Note that in order for me to sledge-hammer your question down, I had to compare a $10K EV with a $300K ICE, with the ICE having an annual maintenance plan (including all real ongoing ownership costs, not just those quoted by the salesman) that is many times
per year than that of the
total cost of ownership of the EV over its entire lifetime.
As ones starts comparing successively more expensive EV's to successively less expensive ICE's, some of the comparison metric results start crossing over.
I bet a fully optioned $200K Model X would beat most (but not all) metrics of a $500 ICE.
(How could a $500 ICE beat any metric of a $200K Model X? Haha, easy, off the top of my head, hands down no comparison: winter heater, of course, presuming the heater works in the ICE. Secondary, the $500 vehicle might have better uphill towing capability, or an ability to go further off-road, or more cargo area and capability, or more seating space, or something else EV's just don't do well yet. The least likely thing a $500 vehicle could do in that list though is go far off-road; it would break down too easily due to age, but if you're in a caravan with redundancy, that might be a non-issue.)
I wrote this back in 2014 when I got into Teslas:
"Car market literally down to 2 cars today"
It sure felt like going back to ICE would be impossible at the beginning - and the 0-30 on an ICE certainly makes it feel like it is broken compared to a good BEV. True.
That said, fast-forward three years and another high-performance Tesla later, and I don't dislike ICEs as much anymore. I mean, I believe in the BEV future and find it unlikely that I'd be buying too many ICEs anymore, but it isn't a strict either-or thing either.
Put it this way: I expect my daily drivers to be BEVs going forward. For some fun, recreation and long-distance backup I expect to continue looking at ICE in the foreseeable future.
One issue is that the BEV choice continues to be very limited. For example, try as I might, no part of my Model X roof unfolds and at times that is unfortunate.
This. The range of vehicle options (not range of distance, but that could even use some work, too) of EV's is immature. For instance, there is no Range Rover EV, Pickup EV, or many other specialty cars that are fairly common in the ICE realm. I think that's just a time thing; 20 years from now, that will go away if money is not an object.
I think the poll is flawed.
Polls by their nature are all flawed. You cannot create a good (defined as perfect) poll; it is impossible. I've therefore stopped caring if polls are flawed, because they all are.
I kept our Suburban for towing and trips, but have used it so seldomly that I had to jump start it last time.
And I always forget to lock it. Now I'm even forgetting to turn ICE cars off!
I've been lazy trying to sell our Mercedes 500 CLK convertible, thinking I might still use it for the drop top option... Nope! First time I got in it after driving the Tesla for a while, it felt so cheap and shaky, I had no desire to drive it even on a perfect convertible day.
I bet that just means the engine mounts weren't maintained. But, that's expensive! I've done it on my prior E500 many times. Not worth it for a few times a year.
