The issue here is simply people not understanding what torque is.
That’s okay. No, EVs (apart from the obvious battery problem) don’t have an issue on snow and ice. Which is easily checked on youtube.
Lets take this question ad absurdum. A Taycan Turbo S has what, 760bhp and 1000nm. If that car would leave with all the power and torque at the traffic light, regardless of throttle position, then you’d just see clouds of tyre smoke. On all traffic lights.
It’s of course nonsense. An EV has instant max torque. Not instant max power. Why you’d think that you can’t “softly” roll off with an EV is beyond me.
