EV drivers aren't car enthusiasts. Prove them wrong...
Discussion
Surely a car enthusiast is simply someone enthusiastic about cars, irrespective of the exact make/model/type of car...?
So if you're enthusiastic about your EV, then you qualify, just the same as someone enthusiastic about their Ferrari, or Lotus, or Focus RS, or old Fiesta, or battered Avensis.

I'm an EV driver and I'm very much a car enthusiast. I've had a list of S&RS Audis, my last one being a stage 2 modified RS7 with 747ps.
In March I moved to a 2016 Tesla Model S P90DL. Now my Audi's were quite big heavy boats rather than fine handling lightweight cars but I'm really enjoying the move to an EV.
IMHO the Tesla on the road is faster in every way. The turn in and handling is much much better than my RS7 and the instant toque and acceleration is addictive. I drive my car hard and enjoy it as both a family car and a stealth performer. Yes at illegal speeds the Audi would eat it for breakfast but for day to day driving the Tesla is far more enjoyable, and crucially much cheaper too.
