EV sports cars don't handle all that well. At least not compared to their gas equivalents especially not any normal daily driveable ones. Low weight is what makes a sports car handle well, and EVs with reasonable range are not low weight.
Like the Lotus Evija is supposed to weigh 3700 pounds. My Subaru Outback weighs that much. This is the "Simplify, then add lightness." company.
They’ve certainly got a ways to go before exceeding gas in every way, you’re right about that! Though handling is surprisingly close to being solved on a per-company basis. I recommend checking out some recent track records from electric cars, if only to see how uncannily they move.
