Yes? Not only that, most of them look terrible and the driving technique has to change dramatically to get any half decent range. It's a lot less engaging to daily an EV.

If you accelerate as slow as a median ICE car, the range shouldn’t be too bad. If you find it difficult not to press the accelerator pedal too hard, you can always use eco mode, chill mode, or Toyota mode, whatever it is called.

I find daily an EV much nicer as the driving is more silent, more smooth, the car is warmer faster, you don’t need to go to the oil and gas station once a while if you can charge at home or at work.

And the torque curve and the response time are so much better than all the car enthousiastes ICE cars in a similar price range.

Most of them look exactly like the ICE versions of the same maker. Can you give example of EVs that you don't like, and the ICE vehicles that you like?

A lot of the entry-level, "city" EVs do indeed look stupid. This is less of a problem as you go up in the range though and indeed high-end EVs look barely any different than their ICE counterparts.

An EV would be a poor fit for people who drive hundreds of thousands of miles per year. That's an impressive daily commute.
