CVT or many-gear auto transmission is nothing like the experience of direct drive EV.
CVTs are mostly gutless because gas engines are gutless except at a very narrow RPM band.
The 0-60 times on EVs are impressive. But it's their 0-30 ranges that are absolutely mindblowing. My little boring Volt easily zips past even 'muscle' cars straight off from a red light (of course they easily catch up later, but I don't care)
