Hi Torque
Torque and power
Electric motor gives maximum torque from the start. Fuel car moves when there are about 1000 rpm - electric car moves when the motor turns.
Following electric cars illustrate what kind of power can be teased out of an electric motor when the you master the tech…
Tzero
Prototype sportscar - built to prove that an electric car goes fast and far
- 0-100 km/h 3,6 s.
- Top speed 160 km/h (limited with programming)
- Driving range with one charge 450 km
Tzero leaves Dodge Viper to eat dust.
