The average acceleration of electric vehicles from 0 to 100 km/h is just 4.4 seconds – that’s faster than 63 percent of modern high-performance cars equipped with internal combustion engines, according to a study of the capabilities of the most popular electric vehicles by Gridserv.
However, this is only the beginning, according to the analysis, in a few years, electric cars will definitely outperform high-performance cars if we look at the acceleration data.
This phenomenon has been evident for years and is a feature by design. The nearly instantaneous torque of the buffalo-powered electric motor, typically applied to both axles, helps this construct achieve blistering acceleration.
For example, the Tesla Model 3 Performance’s 0-100 time of 3.2 seconds is better than 90 percent of high-performance sports cars. The Ferrari Purosangue, among others, can make this move more slowly, although the latter is a real V12-engined freak, and the Tesla is a mobile mobile.
Nowadays, competition has also taken over. The Kia EV6 GT’s 3.4-second time is already well behind Tesla’s, and if you look at the Tesla Model Y’s long-term performance score, the two models are 83 percent better than conventional sports cars, including the BMW M3 Competition and Mercedes-Benz. SLR McLaren.
Based on the graphs compiled from the data, Gridserve predicts a greater advantage for electric vehicles. With true mass-produced electric cars, average acceleration time dropped from 5.7 seconds to 4.4 seconds, an improvement of 22.8 percent. Predicting this in the future, it is expected that sports cars equipped with fully electric motors will dominate, in the category under 40 million HUF, and these cars are expected to reach 100 km / h in 3.1 seconds on average by 2030, and it is expected 3.6 seconds. For traditional types with the same date.
It’s going to be an experience, but it’s a different experience than a naturally aspirated V8 with a manual transmission. We hope there will still be room for the latter on public roads by 2030.
