If you've been following the segment for some time now, you probably remember when EV drag racing was all the rage. Love it or hate it, it was popular primarily due to Tesla's models and their instant torque and ludicrous acceleration. Now that a long list of compelling electric cars and SUVs have come to market, it's time to put them to the test and prove that most EVs boast torque and acceleration like many drivers have never experienced before.
Perhaps now that most automakers have brought impressive EVs to market, a wide variety of shoppers are becoming more interested in the segment as a whole, and the cars' strengths across the board, rather than just focusing on whether or not they "accelerate like a Tesla." We're here to tell you that there's a lot more to like about EVs than their instant acceleration, but we're also here to share that virtually any EV you choose will likely wow you with its performance.
