Jump Ahead
EVs are known for their instant torque and speed off the mark.
Acceleration speed is not just a vanity spec – it reveals more about the drivetrain than battery size or motor power output alone.
Batteries are heavy, so a larger battery requires more power to move the vehicle. Even if the car has high power output, its mass and aerodynamics may slow the vehicle down. That’s where the 0-60 mph rating comes in.
