EVs you get more torque so you want to be easier on the throttle out of turns
Advantages are you never shift so, so you save some time there
Weight is located very low so it's better for handling
The car always weights the same, no Gas tank
Disadvantages, you have extra weight on average about 800lbs compared to ice equivalent
Range flat out it's probably 45min on even best EVs
You can't just fill the tank in 5 mins
Once batteries get light enough and with longer range, ice will have no advantage at all but for subjective stuff like engine noise and the like
