Slow maybe but from what I've read an electric car with equivalent power is always heavier. Now anyways.
My concern is in affordable performance. The high performance versions of the EV's currently available are expensive and while I do think costs will come down I'm not sure by how much. More importantly are the early adopters of EV tech creating a market for the next generation of muscle cars? It seems most have made the switch for environmental reasons or as a status symbol. I didn't buy a V8 Camaro because it pollutes more in the same way people don't buy a cell phone because they're an advocate for child labour in China.
If all electric is the future I hope there is still room for a two door, sporty car that is affordable. But man I'll miss the manual transmission.
