We will be ordering our new Tesla within a month. Amazing, and actually so many of the nay-sayers are so wrong. IMO.
Direct Current electrical motors produce a high torque almost instantaneously, so an E-vehicle can go zero to fifty or 60 in just a few seconds. Also, the battery is mounted low and gives the vehicle a low center of gravity. Much lower than a gas engine with tall vertical pistons. A low center of gravity is good for acceleration, stopping, and cornering. So, all E-vehicles will handle well when you get behind the wheel.
