I'm not sure if it's as "environmentally clean" as people claim, but that's not important.

I like the electric motor. I like how it's smooth, quiet, and responsive. When I want to accelerate, there is no waiting for the transmission to downshift. It has almost instant throttle response. It feels unstrained, like I could drive at full power all the time without wearing it out.

The motor is simple and does not need any maintenance like a gas engine does.

It has disadvantages too, but overall I am happy with it.
