This is an oldie, I know but its worth watching again. This video from the History Channel shows the AC Propulsion TZero, handing a Dodge Viper its internal combustion accessories. Electric Vehicles have all of their torque from a standstill whereas an internal combustion vehicle hast to spin up to an appreciable speed to generate the same kinds of torque. People were still surprised in the present day when my Prius was pulling appreciable times in the quarter mile with the ambient temperature at 90 degrees fahrenheit. These kind of demonstrations help to show that you don't have to be able to hear a vehicle 1/4 mile away for it to have a fair amount of power packed away. Lets not forget that all of that noise is waste energy just like the waste heat, energy that could have been used to propel the vehicle or just conserved.

"Sound of rubber struggling for traction and the slight whine of the motor!"  versus "Thunderous engine noises."  |
