Those are definitely not sporty cars, you can add the Ioniq 5 to that list.

Model 3, NIO, BYD, and to some extent VW and even the i3 or Zoe have much nicer handling. Their low center of gravity and perfect 50/50 weight distribution should actually give you more grip and stability than the equivalent gas burner.

Right, but as per my parallel post, now we're comparing potatoes to kitchen sinks.

The original post did not specify the EV they spoke about, and I disagreed with generic comment that "ICE drives like shit, EV drives awesome!".

This is not to claim EVs don't exist that handle well! "Sporty EVs exist" can be taken as a given I think. But so do ICE! :)

It has not been my personal experience that moderately priced EV (not "cheap EVs", as such a thing doesn't exist here in Canada), are particularly well handling for their class, for all the other pros and cons that they may have.
