EVs will always be inferior to ICE in corners which is basically all the fun driving.
See the ICEs vs EVs timing at Nurburgring, Spa, Suzuka, Laguna Seca etc.
- sokoloff 4y agoAlways is a long time. The Taycan is the fastest production car on the Nurburgring, having taken the title back from a different EV. https://www.autoweek.com/news/industry-news/a40869346/porsche-taycan-breaks-production-ev-nurburgring-record-in-germany/ https://www.autoweek.com/news/industry-news/a40869346/porsch... Even on the tech side, imagine torque vectoring by independent wheel motors rather than brake application. Or per-wheel traction control in general. EVs take a mass penalty; that's true, but there are tech advancements possible that are easier to do in an EV than an ICE or hybrid.
