The "powerband" of an electric motor is infinitely more useable that that of an ICE engine. Full torque available at zero RPM, capable of a much higher "redline" as only have to worry about rotational forces as opposed to reciprocating forces. A car will perform better with an electric motor than with an ICE of the same hp.
The real problem with electrics is the lack of charging infrastructure and the charge time required for current batteries. Once we standardize charging equipment and fully deploy it EVs will really take off. |
