    What does this headline even mean?

    Are electric horses better than gas powered horses or what?

      Yeah, it’s phrased in a weird way.

      He is saying that when cars were becoming popular, lots of people insisted that horses were better. Over time, basically everyone realized that cars are better.

      Now electric cars are becoming popular, although lots of people insists that ICE cars are better.

      He is saying that over time, people against electric cars will change their mind, just like the horse-people did.
