The only EVs I've driven that actually felt like they took advantage of being an EV were from EV companies, no legacy automakers. Tesla, Polestar, Lucid, Rivian. Everyone else the vehicle felt like an afterthought

Preach it! I test drove a wide variety of EVs (except tesla) last year while I was looking to replace my car. My experience was largely disappointing:

  • Ford and the other American brands felt like they were designed to be disliked. All of them were overpriced and poorly designed.
  • Toyota bz4x and the Suburu on the same platform (sunterra? Idr) were nowhere to be found near me.
  • The VW ID.4 was... fine, I guess, but the infotainment was buggy and froze for most of the test drive. It's also plagued with recalls, so I didn't really trust in the longevity of the vehicle.

There was a used Polestar 2 MY21 launch edition someone traded in near me. I took it for a test drive and fell in love! Even several months in, I'm still excited to get behind the wheel, even for something like a grocery run.

The only thing about it that I am not a fan of is the range, which is ~200mi for MY21. That's still more than enough me, I maybe need to charge 1-2x a month. Well, that and the slightly underpowered processor for the infotainment makes it a bit sluggish at times.
