They care about things they can choose. They don't care about responsive cars because responsive cars do not exist.
Actually, they did exist until a few years ago: they were VW! Why do you think they cheated?

No. If that were true, surveys would show that people are paying a premium for electric cars because of the way they handle. People mostly pay the premium for environmental and financial reasons. I have never seen marketing data suggesting that handling is a make-or-break purchase decision for the majority of consumers.

Responsiveness has been taken away from ICE cars, but EV have too many shortcomings w.r.t ICE cars: price, range, refueling time, comfort (too obsessed over CX, thus very low and rounded downwards).
