That’s one of the many nice features of EV technology. ICE vehicles with 1,200 hp would normally be a handful to drive in normal day to day situations.

The Chinese car brands dream of being in the position Tesla is in right now and having the same level of car that they create for the price. They dream of being as profitable as Tesla too and Tesla is paying far higher average wages than the chinese companies do. Rivian and Lucid are not profitable but their vehicles are top notch technology and outperform ANY Chinese EV in the same segment!

Cool! I’m not to sure about the squeaky brakes however.

[@litestuffllc7249]

Yes the definition of fast; is limited to very short range. Le Mans the manufactures championship is a 24 hour race where the winners exceed 5000 kms. The day a BEV can even manage 4000km in 24 hours will be a landmark, today; they might be able to manage 2500 km in 24 hours an average speed of about 50 mph. Amazing speed. Faster charging times may narrow the gap but BEVs can't sustain high speeds due to overheating, another hurdle that will be some time to fix.

[@user-jh6vt8vx4v]

The ev can sustain at full power. Because there is enough air to cool the system. It will have had time to maintain speed t slow track. Le Mans is a very fast track, cooling wise is more fogiving than Spa

[@litestuffllc7249]

@@user-jh6vt8vx4v Im not sure what you want to argue; there is a fellow you can search on youtube on the autobahn; he attempted to sustain 140mph in his IONIC 6 BEV, he was only able to sustain 120 for 1 hours before having to charge; The range at high speed is bad.

One of the best-looking cars. What a joke. They all look the same. I thought the purpose of EVs was to save the planet, not outcompete the biggest muscle car on the planet. That much torque will shred the tyres and destroy the road surface. Still make the most of it because governments will not only bring in pay per mile but a tax on your car's power. They need to fund all the infrastructure upgrades somehow you know.
