- An order of magnitude safer in terms of fires per mile

- Much quieter ride

- Much less maintainence, less moving parts, brake pads almost never need to be replaced, no transmission, no oil changes

- Internet-connectivity-related features, generally much nicer user experience

- You can use them as a mobile office, they can be camped in with the heating on overnight, there's no concept of idling and no carbon monoxide issues with sitting in an EV with the car on as long as you want

- If either your home or office has charging, you basically leave full every time

Potential for remote shutoff is not a feature
