Why are EVs less thrilling?

Many electric vehicles accelerate faster than petrol cars, but drivers often report less emotional engagement. This is partly due to the quietness and smooth power delivery, which can reduce the sense of drama and connection. The Polestar study suggests that trust and control, rather than just raw speed, are key to making EVs exciting.
