Oh yes, EVs have a lot going for them. The lack of a gearbox with
variable (continuous or stepped) ratios means the driver is in direct
control of road speed/acceleration, rather than controlling engine
speed which translates to road speed via *different ratios* (*). It
becomes easy to configure in acceleration profiles so the driver just
has to command the car "accelerate smoothly from 0 to 60" and the
motors will accelerate gradually to begin with, then more, then ease
off to zero acceleration once the target speed is reached - which a
driver of an IC car tries to do, with varying amounts of skill.

I'd suggest you try an IC engined car equipped with a decent modern auto.

Yeah, he only has a very indecent frog car :-(
