19 seconds to 62, 13 on the 65 model. It’s not getting out of a junction in a hurry. 26.4 kWh battery explains the low price but that’s fine for getting around town, it’s the glacial acceleration that could be a problem, especially somewhere like London where you’ll not get much sympathy getting out of a junction.
The 65 model will be adequate, as with all EVs you get maximum torque immediately.
Also 0 to 62 in 13 seconds. That was considered quite sporty in the 60s and 70s when a 1.6 Cortina or a 1725 Hunter or an Austin 1800 all took 14 seconds! Don’t remember having trouble pulling out of junctions :>)
