Well, there is also the instant response to the gas pedal. A gasoline-powered engine, especially with a turbocharger, takes a while to respond, and the gearbox might need to switch gears. That could be up to 2 seconds until you start accelerating, and another 2 seconds until you reach top power output. In an EV, you press the pedal and everything happens instantly. Instant torque. All this makes a big difference in practical driving.

- shrimpx 4y agoStill, you can’t bear a muscle car in 0-60. Maybe 0-30 tho.
- thisarticle 4y agolol check out the Kia Ev6 GT.
- shrimpx 4y agoYeah but the other Kia mentioned in this article is slow AF.
