    You appear to have no idea about the difference in torque between an EV and conventional.

      My first bachelor’s is in ME - Auto. But, no degrees are necessary to understand F=MA. They started teaching it in high school in the 90s.

        You’re being very condescending for someone that doesn’t seem to understand a crappy electric will deliver more low speed torque than most V8’s.

        It’s not the CVT and smooth shifting, nor the power to mass. Nor is it introducing a completely different vehicle type because the commenter had identified the issue with your comment.

        Even an entry level electric will pin people to the seat the moment the accelerator goes down, and it’ll keep them there until they’re no longer accelerating. To get that with a V8, you have to have good tires, a good powertrain, and a capable driver.

        I’m not denying the possibility for a V8 to be “better” than an electric, but it’s much more expensive and skill dependent to get that from a V8.
