Not me.

When you connect an electric motor to the drive wheels, you'd be disconnecting me from a significant part of what makes driving in general something that I actively enjoy.

There are a couple of specific situations where I would enjoy an electric-drive vehicle. Indoor go-karts being one, and for the minute or so that an autocross run might take for another. For any other driving I can think of, being more involved and feeling and hearing more of a traditional car's rawness will always be preferable to an electric's smoothness and refinement . . . preferable over an EV's performance potential, even.
