it's like it drives with confidence
I think it's because it reacts to the controls soo much faster.
In an ICE vehicle, especially with sticks shift, you're pushing and pulling all these gears and levers and pedals to control a transmission connected to an engine, or a brake, which will then attempt to produce the revolutions that you requested.
In an EV, it just does it. It's like the pedal is a direct control of the engine, which is connected directly to the wheels, which always has enough torque to carry out your request, even braking. Technically it still has a transmission etc., but it doesn't cause a delay like conventional transmissions.
In everyday driving, this shows most clearly when you're starting from a complete stop. You can find soo many more openings in traffic, when you trust you car to accelerate efficiently to merge into the traffic fluidly without getting in the way or getting into any risk when doing it.
I've been driving an ICE car lately for unrelated reasons, and it's definitely not a backstep you'll want to take. It feels like controlling a steam driven submarine using only pressure valves to steer through a mine field.
