Reducing carbon emissions > “fun”
It's like we can't do both
Why is an ICE more “fun” than an electric motor other than “makes big noise”?
Likely due to how an ICE works compared to an electric one, if you actually like working on them. Modding an ICE is leagues more interesting and complicated than… well, good luck modifying an electric motor is all I can say.
That said, driving an electric car is probably more fun, unless you are doing a long canyon run or you want a light vehicle.

Not to mention air cooled VW and Porsche engines only made like 60HP. Far from a "fun" engine unless you find things like getting a full night's rest or eating rice cakes "fun."
What a load of crap you are spewing.
Porche 911 GT2 (993) produced 331kw (443hp) with an air cooled engine.

Well I stand corrected! That's an incredible amount of power from a small, air-cooled engine.
