> It doesn't pass the smell test either: what car accelerates faster than it can stop? A dragster? But more seriously, modern high-performance electric cars (such as some Tesla models) are capable of both acceleration and braking pretty much at their tires' adhesion limit. I would still expect the mechanical braking system to be designed to be able to overcome the maximum torque of the motor although I do not know whether or not that is in fact the case.
