Must admit that's the first time I've heard that one. ;-)

Electric cars are a dream to drive compared with ICE.

I;m not a driver but even I know there are differnt dreams for drivers.

Electric cars are a dream to drive because:-
The torque max comes at the time you need it (setting off)
There are no gear changes,just seamless acceleration.
Leaves most other cars standing at the traffic lights.
The mechanical brakes are only used to stop the car. Normal braking is regenerative, ie all speed control on the one pedal. The regenerative braking is adjustable to road conditions on my car.
The only noise is from the tyres so it's quieter than a Rolls Royce.
In Summer I charge it from my solar panels for free.
There's no road tax.
Insurance is about the same as a conventional car.
Maintenance is almost zero. No oil, no filters.
Just fluids to top up.

What's not to like?
