I'm waiting to see any EV equivalent to ICE sports sedans, coupes, and hatchbacks. I have yet to see any. Automakers have only been investing in econo-sedans/CUV's and that's all we've seen with the Mach-E, Volkswagen ID, BMW i3, Tesla Model 3, Bolt, Audi E-tron , etc....

There is nothing equivalent to something like a Golf GTI, Mazda Miata, Camaro, Civic SI, and many others, with the same price point, range, curb weight, and features of those vehicles. Because of battery placement, all these EV vehicles are raised and can't escape looking ugly or CUVish.

So as long as there are no viable alternatives, car enthusiasts should refuse to purchase an EV. I'm not buying a car for a premium price that only excels in city driving and needs to be charged like a smartphone. At least until it excels past these boundaries and a plus would be offering a manual transmission.
