Electric Vehicles

The ID.4 isn't amazing in acceleration it's only 204 hp. But that's still enough to make it faster than our old Ice car that was 160 hp.
In European terms that makes it go 0-100 km/t in 8,5 sec. That's less than half a second faster than the old ICE car.
BUT, the acceleration is always instantly ready, and it's so quit I barely hear it inside the car.
We could have had a car that goes from 0-100 in less than 5 seconds for the same price, but we chose not to, for 2 reasons, number one I've seen neighbors have stupid things happen because they accelerated too quickly, like a small garden trailer turning over for going too fast through a roundabout. And quite frankly, I know myself well enough to know that I would have a very hard time not to give it a bit of pedal occasionally. The 2nd is that insurance on those faster cars is twice the insurance of our more moderate car.

But despite that, I agree that the acceleration is cool, because it's always ready, it's plenty fast IMO, and it quiet.
AND I also noticed that a bit of acceleration doesn't kill the economy nearly as much as it does in an ICE car. The efficiency when accelerating is way better.
