I wish people would stop perpetuating the falsehood that all EVs are quick or fast. The high powered, very expensive ones are quick off the line and only some of those are actually quick by performance ICE standards from a roll (look at trap speed data for proof). Case in point: The Hummer EV - it's very quick off the line due to 1200 ft-lbs of torque and AWD, and thus, it does 0-60 in 3.0 sec. After that it trails off significantly and only traps 105 mph in the 1/4 mile (I think top speed is 106) despite having 1000 hp. Yes, it's a massive, heavy truck. But 105 mph isn't blowing the doors off any modern GT or SS from a roll, much less a ZL1 or GT500. Despite beating all of them from a dig.

The 835 hp Rivian R1T traps 110 mph. Quick, but again, that's about like a stock 5th gen SS from a roll.

EVs feel quick because they have instant torque that hits hard. Yes, I've ridden in a Model S Plaid. It's very quick everywhere (traps 151 mph in the 1/4 mile). But that's the exception not the rule. The Taycan Turbo S is also very quick from a roll (130 mph trap speed).

It's easy to make hp with electric motors because they don't have emissions standards to meet. Want more power? Add a motor and higher capacity battery.

The Hummer is essentially an LS1 F-body above 60 mph, but with 1200 ft-lbs of torque. Don't race one off the line though!

Edited to add: The Tesla Model 3 dual motor performance (top of the line Model 3) traps 114-115 mph. But it costs around $65k for entry. So, approximately SS rolling acceleration performance for ZL1 money. Also, look at the trap speeds of cheaper EVs (hint: they are much slower).
