I don’t disagree with that. I have a Bolt EV, which isn’t fast (0-60 in 6.7s) but it has that instant acceleration at any speed that has quickly gotten me further away from sketchy drivers or situations more than a few times.
There’s probably something of a bell curve of safety going from super slow to super fast, lol
Plenty of cars out there running more power than that. Why do we need it? We don’t. The same could be said for most power levels in any modern car. Why do we want it? Because it’s fucking awesome.
450 HP ? Twice ?
That’s more than a (small) plane how does a car need that big engines ?
It probably doesn’t need that much power, but speed is fun and the extra torque can be useful.
The new Rimac Nevera (an EV hypercar) has over 1800 HP.
I am hoping to convert my ‘63 Karmann Ghia to an EV… its ICE is 79 hp.
I’ve seen the innards of a KG.
You’ll get like 20 miles of range with the battery packs you might be able to squeeze into some hidey holes.
I maintain that a slow car is more dangerous than a fast one.

He is going to covert a bus to an electric rv. The escape is the test bed to test equipment first.
I can’t wait until he gets back to the bus. I enjoy his other channel too (underdunn?), but he hasn’t done much on it for a while.
