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.

I love comments from people who quote horsepower on an electric motor when horsepower is a fake number generated by measuring torque and using a constant number. Only applicable to gasoline engines.
This vehicle will carry 6 adults up a steep hill.
It's just a unit of power. You can calculate watts from force x speed, too, if you use metric units. Yeah, you can shift the whole thing to a rotational system with torque and rotational velocity (and then derive the linear equivalent force and speed from those units as the radius of the circle cancel out).
Power is power. By using similar units it makes it easier to compare different vehicles. If everyone wants to convert to watts, we can, but we'd still be making those comparisons.
I only used hp because most people are more familiar with it.
And for my own electric car hp is also used in more than 9 out of 10 spec spaces to describe the power.
As I mentioned earlier, it has 150 kW equal to 204 hp.
And no you are wrong, it is in no way only applicable to gasoline engine, even giving you the benefit of the doubt that you probably mean ICE, which can be gasoline, Diesel, propane or even hydrogen.
IDK how old you are, but by your logic you sound like you are 8 years old.
ICP. There were streets ahead. But yeah, I can wait for reviews before I start nitpicking a press release.
