I'm fine with electric cars. I just hope someone will continue to make an ICE vehicle with a manual transmission for the weekends.

Correct. Batteries are heavy and as David70 said, also the costliest part of electric vehicles. Tesla doesn't actually make money on sales of their cars but rather the credits they sell to other automakers. This will go away for them once the entire industry starts going electric.
