They are also a much better driving experience. Once you get used to one pedal driving and instant silent thrust, gas cars seem unresponsive and clumsy. Not going to gas stations is great too.

What do you mean by one-pedal driving? Surely electric cars still have an accelerator and a brake?

I mean that regenerative braking when you lift the accelerator slows the car sufficiently that it is rarely necessary to touch the brake pedal. So most driving is done just by modulating the accelerator.
