Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

As stupid as calling an EV "Turbo"?

Porsche lost the plot a long time ago.

I hope someday someone is dumb enough to create a V8 EV...

Porsche hasn't lost the plot - they build this stuff intentionally because they know idiots will buy it. It pads their bottom line and lets them continue to make the higher end 911s.

My first PC had a Turbo button.
Its purpose was to make the CPU slower.
