I never thought I'd like EVs as I've had a gas car since 1989 and found the Tesla completely weird to drive comparably. This year I was lucky enough to get a KIA EV6 Wind and love it as it has 3 selection modes (Similar to the VW ID.4) for the regenerative brakes that at least in mode 1 feels like a car. It's allowed someone like me to transition to an BEV gracefully and I now drive at mode 2 with more breaking force when you let off the pedal.

They're not for everyone, especially the damned price, but that's slowly coming down too.

I was already used to engine braking from driving a manual, but I spent a few hours "learning" to use the max regeneration in one of our company cars, and man oh man do I love one-pedal-driving. Nothing to really think about, just adjust the pressure on the pedal to fit your needs, and only rarely do I need to actually use the brakes.

My current car is an old (paid out) diesel who refuses to die, but when I finally get around to changing it for something newer I'm definitely getting an EV, and one that doesn't have that stupid "creep forward" too.

Tesla's also have these settings. I personally love 1 pedal driving and don't ever want to go back.
