62 mph

!oddlyspecific@lemmy.world

I wonder why that number was chosen?

Edit: 62 mph ≈ 100 km/h

Edit 2: Is this that remarkable for an EV? It's only slightly faster than a Model S Plaid...

The Model S Plaid, MG, Rimac Niverra, etc are increasingly limited by regulations more than anything. Quite literally, they are at the limits of rolling friction for street legal tires, which is why you’re not seeing a lot of variance at the top of the market.
