    It probably doesn’t need that much power, but speed is fun and the extra torque can be useful.

    The new Rimac Nevera (an EV hypercar) has over 1800 HP.

        I’ve seen the innards of a KG.

        You’ll get like 20 miles of range with the battery packs you might be able to squeeze into some hidey holes.

          Hidey holes like the entire area behind the back seat? Or the space made when the gas tank is removed from the frunk?

        I don’t disagree with that. I have a Bolt EV, which isn’t fast (0-60 in 6.7s) but it has that instant acceleration at any speed that has quickly gotten me further away from sketchy drivers or situations more than a few times.

        There’s probably something of a bell curve of safety going from super slow to super fast, lol

          At some point the danger becomes the driver, not the vehicle itself. A shit box will struggle to hit interstate speeds no matter what. A proper car being driven properly comes down to the individual controlling it
