you really should test performance EVs, even if you won't ever get one. they are alien tech i tells ya.
the recurring theme (i've tested A LOT)
- big heavy battery at the bottom
---- car needs very stiff springs so there is less lean on cornering
---- low center of gravity so there is more stability on cornering
---- it forms a natural insulation from road noise
---- heaviness means limit on G force (gas car wins on race track)
---- very safe. you are likely heavier than the other car in a crash
electric motor
- gives max power at lowest "RPM", exactly where you need it from standing start, on the road
- power goes down when speed goes up - gas car catches up at high speeds
- good for road, bad for track
- less moving parts less complex ?lower failure rate
range
- can't go far in one charge
- you don't want to queue for charging if infrastructure is limited
- can't do a lot things you want
- always have a gas car around
climate change
- it won't stop climate change
- but it makes the city air cleaner 10000%
- and puts a smile on your face in traffic
- but these things are disposable
depreciation
- only richer people seem to be able to afford these
- got mine at 40% off list brand new. don't pay full price, it depreciates like a used mobile phone.
