I mean, I guess it depends on what you need. If you’re looking to take it to a track, keeping traction at speed is going to be a legitimate concern. Same if you’re looking to slip between cars at 90/140+. For the most part, ripping through a straightaway after a slow 90 degree turn is about all the cornering most people do. And that legitimately makes me sad.
Agreed. I’m just saying that, as much as I like EVs, pure EV platforms are not an upgrade in the handling department. Manufacturers that want the best of both worlds are playing with hybrid system right now. That way they can get the obviously better acceleration, but they can minimize battery weight for cornering.
But, none of that is something I will need to worry about for my grocery getter.
You managed to send me through a fair bit of wiki hopping so I’d like to thank for being the impetus for my improved understanding and also curse you for stealing an hour from me. You’re entirely right.
A neat tidbit is the tech leaps across the last few years and advancements at the bleeding edge. New electrics will move and recharge in absurd, ostensibly otherworldly ways.
Yeah, this might be a today problem l, but not a tomorrow problem.
