The acceleration isn't about pedal to the metal, it's about the delay between pushing the gas and the car beginning to accelerate. Obviously none of these things are must haves, but imo and in the opinion of almost everyone I've asked, electric cars are more enjoyable to drive than ICE ones.
- Amezarak 5y agoI think most people are pretty content to drive cars that are not "enjoyable" to drive. There are a lot of ICE cars out there much more fun to drive than the average commuter car. I don't think people other than car and maybe tech enthusiasts rate this factor very highly - which goes back to what I'm saying, I don't think the major car manufacturers are really losing out because they don't have a popular EV out right now. Even when I do hear about Teslas (I do not see very many here), people seem much more excited about the "it drives itself!" (invariably all have been majorly oversold on the capabilites of autopilot) and almost never mention the EV part. I do think automatic cruise control and lanekeeping are nice features particularly on very long drives, but those two in particular are widely available now.
