We bought a Hyundai Ioniq 5 a few weeks ago. 330bhp, 0-60 in 4.5. If that’s what an EV grocery-getter gets me these days, I no longer care about performance, either, just like I don’t look at CPU clock speeds much anymore. I leave the thing in “eco” mode just so I don’t spin the treads off the tires (Hyundai really could use to mellow “normal” mode, IMO, and leave the neck-snapping for “sport”.)
But that’s what I love about modern cars versus the tuned-to-the-edge-of-reliability cars of old: I don’t have to put up with a stiff clutch and a lumpy camshaft for the 4% of the time I might actually use that performance. And I don’t make a bunch of noise doing it, either.
