Well you need a strong engine to get up to speed in a decent amount of time, and to go up hills full loaded. You also need tall gears for fuel efficiency. Combined, it means almost every production car can go 100+ mph.
Also range? Thats just a gas tank. A 10 gallon gas tank will take most small cars 300 miles, its not a lot. Why focus on range? Seems weird to me.
Sorry im used to engines, we’re talking about EV’s. Thats something other countries have as an option, lower speed, lower range, more affordable vehicles.
Ah, so do we. Off highway vehicles. Few use them as a daily because why would you? A 10 year old used car is much better choice than anything new, if you want affordable, and you get the speed and range
Not off highway, street legal. Legal to drive on the 40mph roads we have in town. For climate purposes, gas price reasons, and fewer moving parts and maintenance involved, i want an electric vehicle.
You know whats safe? A smaller, cheaper engine with a lower top speed. I dont need hundreds of miles of range and 100mph top speed

I couldn’t agree more. For now, my options are electric scooters/bikes. Which are pretty great but don’t have air conditioning!
The US will continue to trail behind the rest of the world in this industry due to the greed and
lobbyingbribery of the auto companies.You need a 20 lb electric motor to have absolutely butt-kicking torque in an EV.
Plus a 1000 pound battery.
Yeah, the battery is gonna weigh a lot.
