    As an ev driver, some people shouldn’t be allowed this much acceleration 0-60 time, me included.

      I’ve got a “shitbox” VW Golf - the twin charger version, it’s only around 118kw. It’s not quick by any stretch of the imagination even with the bolt-on mods mine has so far.

      I’d not like to imagine the levels of trouble I’d find myself in owning even a midrange EV. Being able to give an EV a ham sandwich and hit 100kph in ~5 seconds or less is absurd.

        Not to mention the weight. Those premium vehicles with long range stats are very heavy. That’s what makes them so terrifying to me.
