I suspect the biggest factor is speed. After getting used to EV for over a year, every ICE vehicle feels painfully sluggish and slow. If that's the case I'm curious to see how the numbers compare to other EVs.

You don't do much towing, do you?

99.9% of drivers will never tow anything in their life.

That might be a little high given how many small boats exist in this country, but definitely agree the vast majority will never tow.
