That's is a value point...


However all fast EVs rely on raw power vs. light weight and handling dynamics. You have your outlyers Rimac.. But it does weight 5,000 lbs and has 1800hp. Put 1800hp in an twin turbo 911 GT3 RS (3300lbs) and it would eat any EV alive and return faster lap times, would refill in 2-3mins, have better longevity on the brakes and tires.


All BEV Ms...

For context it's also valid BEVs are going to weigh quite a bit more, be more digital, be harder to refuel/charge in dynamic situations, less dynamic due to weight, have a shorter long term life expectancy, harder to repair, self drive and if it overheats and catches fire is going to result in the usage of a lot of water to put it out.

I'm all for use case. But in certain situations an EV doesn't make sense with today's tech. A few generations from now perhaps.

Track work, heavy duty applications, long haul and long term usage ICE is in for the win.
