When I recently misjudged my range driving out of the mountains of North Carolina, I was not exactly calm. But as a driver of two different plug-in vehicles, I can say that the genuinely quiet ride and smooth, linear throttle response make for a decidedly pleasant, predictable and stress-free driving experience.
Now Electrek reports on a study—commissioned, admittedly, by the London Electric Vehicle Company—which claims electric powertrains may offer significant mental health benefits to their drivers. Now, before we get any further we should acknowledge this was a study involving four drivers, and commissioned by a company that builds plug-in versions of London’s iconic black cab. So your bias radar should be well and truly engaged.
