Comment Electrics have tons of torque! (Score 1) 1528
Diesel tourque is hard to beat, even with electric tourque.
Electric vehicle motors have 100% torque available at stall and near-stall conditions. This is sometimes enough to break things like transmissions and drivelines in experimental vehicles. Facts
And in city driving 0-25 is an important number..
Agreed. There's a saying: horsepower sells engines, torque gets you there. I find the instant-on high-torque behavior of electric motors in both hybrids and pure EVs to make city driving rather fun.
