Our car tops at 155 km/h and the most problematic thing to me is acceleration above 100 km/h rather than actual top speed. Overtaking is something that takes a while and you always have to factor in a lot more distance to oncoming cars in the left lane considering that they may be a good deal faster than you. I tend to be comfortable at 120–130 km/h in the right or middle lane, but admittedly, other people may prefer to drive faster. It comes with an efficiency trade-off that may prevent them from using EVs, though ;-)
Acceleration shouldn't be a problem for an electric motor, though, so despite a somewhat slower top speed I'd envision that things like being on the on-ramp to the Autobahn, or overtaking maneuvers are less of a problem than for ICE-powered cars with a weak engine.
