The instant torque and acceleration of an electric vehicle is unmatched. I also like the real whirling sound of an electric motor, not the noise that some manufacturers put in (ahem, BMW). But the noises from a straight six BMW are also very enjoyable. The sound my Z51 C7 Corvette made was also intoxicating. I drove through tunnels with the top down just to hear it.
Bingo. EVs have a lot of advantages as does ICE. There should be room for compromise and for both to coexist. But the ban of ICE is what bothers me.

Everything today is in absolutes, nobody is willing to think critically and meet in the middle.
