I’m dreading having to drive an EV. Most have terrible handling due to the heavy batteries
Out of interest, have you actually driven a modern EV, my cars handling is on a par with my last car, and the performance far exceeds it!
Yes I’ve driven a couple. Both seemed far too heavy for their size and didn’t handle anything like their non electric counterparts.
It is a well documented fact that battery weight affects handling and not in a good way. Some benefits arise from a low centre of gravity but overall the cars feel heavier and far less agile.
I think when we were talking about the driving experience being spoilt it was because people would be driving to get the most range out of their batteries rather than just driving normally, regardless of the handling characteristics of the vehicle.
