It’s always the same with these types of car, regardless of powertrain, there are people who simply don’t see the appeal, which is fair enough but why comment on all the negatives you do see? There are those who like to have the capability and will use it until the novelty wears off, then it’ll be the occasional blast either to show off or to beat some expensive car that’s pulled up beside them.
Being an EV the reality is very simple, if you live your life in launch mode and flying around the roads like they’re all quarter mile tracks 2 things are inevitable, you’ll soon grow very tired of having a car with a range of 50 miles and you’re licence will develop a Welsh accent. With speed traps, average speed cameras, ever decreasing speed limits in built up areas, you’ll pull away and will instantly have to ease off to prevent getting another fine or worse. Even on open roads, there aren’t that many where you can actually and legally launch up to 60 from a start without breaking the speed limit, either these roads don’t have high speed limits or you can’t stop on in order to launch away. Then there’s that other nuisance, roads are busier each and every year, now find somewhere that’s quiet enough that you’re not having to slow down because the car infront hasn’t got the same intention as you.
Yes it’s handy to be able to accelerate out of trouble or into a space from an on ramp but most EVs and decent engined cars can already do that if you drive them right.
If this one floats your boat, great, have at it and I hope you enjoy it, if it doesn’t then don’t, find something more suitable and enjoy that.
