Re: Electric cars = SLOW
Sure, it's not all that fast but you have to admit, electric vehicle technology has come a long way. It still has a long way to go though.

Re: Electric cars = SLOW
Something about 100% torque at 0 RPM's makes me smile.

Fixed it for ya. It can't be making any torque if the motor isn't turning

Re: Electric cars = SLOW
Torque is a measure of force. It is possible to apply force with no reaction/movement. 100% TQ at 0 RPM IS correct. Hydraulic motors can do the same thing.
If they weren't able to apply TQ at 0 RPM, they would never start moving.

Beat me to it 
Our servo motors for the refueling machines we build are a good example of 100% torque at 0 RPM. You can hang a fuel assembly off the hoist, with no brakes applied, and it will still not move. The motor has not been given a command to move, so it will apply as much torque as it neccessary so that the hoist does not move. You can hook up a hand wheel and try to crank the hoist up/down, but nope. It will apply full torque if it needs to, to hold that thing right where it is. Full torque at 0 RPM. |

I guess that's true. I didn't think about it like that!

That car is probably faster than most of the cars on this site...

I would love to get behind the wheel of that "slow" electric car.

Re: Electric cars = SLOW
You can not have HP with out RPM but yes you can have OMG torque w/o rpm. There is an electric drag bike that was close to what its ICE counter part did in the 1/4 mile.
