Electric Aveo - EV (144v / 1000 Amps = 193 horsepower and massive torque!)

FYI it still is about horsepower. Torque is how much work you can do (how much weight you can move/tow). Horsepower is how fast you get that work done (how fast you accelerate). The massive low rpm torque just gives you far better acceleration at low rpms when compared to gas engines.

And I quote. "The secret weapon in electric motors is NOT their horsepower"
