Things definitely will be less special when everything goes electric. What we're losing is character from the powertrain. A BMW I6, a Chevy V8 and a Porsche flat 6 may all make 500hp but the power delivery, sound, refinement, rpm etc will all vary. It makes for a very different experience and why I love trying all types of gas cars.

With electric it's all the same. The ultimate power will vary but the delivery is nearly identical. I have a Model 3 Performance and my fiance has a Mustang Mach E. My car is much faster but the power delivery feels very similar and that has been the case with most EVs I've driven.

I'm not against EVs and I actually think they make better commuter cars than gas cars because of easy/efficient they are to operate but there's a reason I want a gas only sports car for the weekend. That's why I have a ZL1 M6 on order to be my forever car. You can buy a faster EV but you'll never match the involvement.
