Before we get too excited about how fast the EV's are going to be, the fact is they will only be as fast as the manufacturers allow them to be. While GM has no control whatsoever over how fast my Camaro is, Tesla and every other EV manufacturer has complete control over every car they sell.

And the greenies who are pushing EV's on us could very well decide that while driving EV's is great, going fast is socially irresponsible and coerce the manufacturers to dial back the speed... for the good of us all (especially the children!), you know. Who could argue with that?

So it will be entirely possible... and not really that improbable... that you could wake up one morning to find your 2 second 0-60 EV now accelerates at a more socially acceptable and eco-friendly 7 seconds.

And there will be nothing you could do about it.
