It's one of those things you don't really get until you experience it.
No oil changes. No finding a gas station just to refuel. No worrying about whether the engine is warm enough for setting off in the morning. No smell before the cats light off. Instant heat. Instant torque. Dead silent. The list goes on and on.
After you get used to it, the idea of going back to ICE again is unfathomable. Why would I want to give up the convenience I have now? For road trips? Ha! I have both ICEV and EV at the moment and it is the EV that is the preferred road trip car, not the ICEV.
You actually don't want to wait for your engine to warm up beforehand unless you are going to immediately punch it or go on the highway. Your engine warms up multiple times faster under a light load than it does idling.
Sure, but you have to be aware that it's still cold and it affects how you drive. It affects how the car feels. Is it a huge deal? Nope, not by itself. But it's just another one of those anachronistic things you do today that you will chuckle about in the future.
