Yes, in a few ways. One thing is they are really fucking quiet, so pulling up behind someone waking in the middle of the street means they won't hear you and you have to intentionally make noise to get them to move out of the way. The other part is they generally speed up very very fast on the electric motor, so you go from 0 to whatever really quick, depending on the car.

I've driven the BWM i3, tesla model S and my plug-in prius. In the i3 and model S if you floor it, it's like light speed immediately, head slams back, groceries destroyed from where you placed them. The hybrid electric ingress just get a nice little boost that they need.
