I can't begin to imagine a task that would be better suited with an ICE
than an electric motor. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that
you were refering to the energy storage, that some applications are
better suited to using petroleum products rather than a battery for
energy storage.
I'll go as far as to postulate that the ICE would have disappeared long
ago if we had a better way to generate electricty from petroleum in
personal and other vehicles. If we could efficiently and safely run a
small turbine in a car to generate electricty, the manufacturers would
surely have replaced the complicated ICE with an electric motor.

Your seriously comparing horses vs cars with EVs vs ICEs?
Horses were overcome by technology which is not the case here! Some tasks will
always be better suited to combustion engines.

No; it will never be 100%. But it could easily reach 50% or even more within
our lifetimes. Longer term, it may well get very close to 100% EV.
100 years ago, ICEs started replacing horses. A century later, there are
*still* a small percentage of people using horses. But the vast majority of
people use ICEs.
