Kind of in the same boat myself. In the end chose a better spec lower performance car over a better performance lower spec car from a different brand.
The actual revelation in my case was the simple fact that overtaking for example would be a much easier task in an EV than similarly performing ICE as the performance is more easily accessed without the need to downshift etc.
Racing from traffic lights is not important in my use case either, but again acceleration is accomplished much easier than in an ICE of equivalent or even slightly better performance.
For me the drive experience is all about easy and swift performance without putting too much stress to the tyres or drivetrain components. A single motor EV still has the traditional components like driveshaft joints etc. Especially worth to note in a FWD car, probably not so much in a RWD like the ID4.
