Usually the people who Diss EVs are those who don’t have one, haven’t driven one & are suckered in by all the BS online.
Driving an EV can be as exciting as you want it to be, personally I don’t yet in a car to be excited that’s what cinema is for. It’s for getting from A to B safely that’s it & well maybe the odd sleep whilst the wife is hunting round charity shops.
Look I have a ZS one of the cheapest EVs out there. It still has 3 driving modes & in ‘sport’ mode despite being a big heavy car it is pretty damn quick. I’m currently driving a courtesy car 1.5 petrol 5 door hatch & despite having gear (yuck BTW so unsophisticated) you have to rag the butt off of it to get it toove & even then it is slooooooooow vs electric.
I’m not trying to convert anyone I really font care if Mr x wants to stick with Dino pop as long as possible. There are lots of EVs out there with gears pretty much all the conversions done have gear stick, clutch & gearbox still so if you want that then you’ll need a conversion but a gearbox on an EV is an unnecessary waste of space & weight as you get 100% of torque throughout the rev range so there’s zero need to have any kind of reduction to get the car moving
