This is also a feature of hybrids people overlook. They might have tiny ICE engines, but the additional torque from the electric motor more than makes up for it

- redfern314 10mo agoI mean, kind of. Series hybrids (where the drivetrain is all electric and fed by a generator) yes, but all the parallel hybrids I've driven are still pretty anemic because you have both a tiny ICE engine and a tiny electric motor. They also don't always engage simultaneously in a way that makes it feel like you're getting the torque on demand.
- sib 10mo agoEhhhh.... The most prevalent hybrid (at least in the US) is the Toyota Prius. At least until to latest models, they were very slow, with a 0-60 time of ~10 seconds.
