More like 5% if plug-in hybrids count as "gas car". 95% satisfaction is still great though.

I've been daily driving EVs for over eight years. I wouldn't go back either, as long as I can charge it at home anyways. And I pay my own mortgage, so hopefully that remains the case.

Hell I've even taken my EV to race tracks. Charging in between runs is a hassle, sure, but the serenity on the track from no engine or exhaust noise removes a lot of anxiety, and I get to enjoy the sounds of all the other fun ICE cars that much more

I've been waiting for 3 things: An income that can afford a new car, EVs with 500+km of range (I make regular trips through regions with poor charging infrastructure, and experience winter), and for my current ICE car to kick the bucket.

The first two have come to pass. Just waiting on that last one.
