People won’t buy the car for speed but the fact it can go startlingly fast demolishes the notion that EV aren’t practical cars to drive.
They definitely are and can deliver more if needed.
Isn’t that whole point in owning a car?
And it wouldn’t be too long before “trickle down” technology will deliver this benefit to EV for the masses.
Before I retired, I drove 130 miles round trip every day down the entire length of I-575 to work, in weather that went from very hot summers to sometimes very frigid temperatures in an unheated garage.
If any one of these manufacturers would have GUARANTEED I could make it to work and back any day I tried and it could be charged overnight from a 120VAC plug at night, I might have considered one. None did, none will.
I used to see a Honda EV on the same road for about a year....then it suddenly disappeared from my daily spotting of cars I recognized.
That said. I’m not against them for moderate and regular driving that doesn’t stress the limit of EV capability in an urban type environment, but that’s not me.

There is still the issue of range.
