lack of torque and sluggish acceleration are an issue that is unrelated to a top speed that is artificially limited for whatever reason. Electric cars tend to have vastly superior torque and acceleration at the same horse power rating. They are perfectly usable on the autobahn.
you're attacking a point that I never made.
- slededit 10y agoMotors lose torque as speed increases, its a fundamental limitation caused by back-EMF. ICE engines tend to have peak torque at several thousand RPM depending on their design. Therefore while electric motors are much better accelerating from a stop they are not as suited for providing torque at high speeds.
