I can't see high performance being a real separator in real life use. It's also like when they talk about crazy 0-60 times..

People buy cars for all kinds of reasons, and if their ICE car could beat an EV at 0-60, I'm sure they'd be complaining about it.

I wonder if an electric dragster could beat a top fueler? That would really pi** some people off. At least they wouldn't have to rebuild the engine after every run or two.

Of course without all the noise and fire, what fun would that be?

ev dragster breaks 201mph

I don't think the initial intent of EV cars was 0-60 times, it just so happens though that EV motors deliver torque quicker and are more efficient at delivering power though the entire band, so it's a bonus. Also there is not near the wear and tear like ICE's.
