Sweet Jesus Christ.
That's more torque than a lot of modern muscle cars have. I know electric motors can shit out a lot of torque, but holy fuck.
The ebussy needs a lot of thrust
Well yeah, it's clearly a size queen. If you can't compete with size, then you need deep, hard thrust.
That eBussy is demanding it.
Look at it.
I'd drive that eBussy all night long!
It's like a farm tractor.
Top speed of around 100kph. Not that high, but it will get to that speed right the fuck now.
The Chevy Spark EV was something like 140hp but 330ft-lbs of torque. It was quite ridiculous and I know a lot of people who absolutely loved it.
It's because the way we measure torque on electric motors doesn't compare to the way we measure torque on ICE cars. A "muscle car" will be much, much stronger than these busses even though they claim "700 lb-ft" of torque.
