I call B.S.

 

Porsche’s entry into the electric car market will have 600 horsepower and do zero to sixty in 3.5 seconds.  That’s a half-second slower than the Tesla, but it will boast more sustainable performance on road courses.  Jaguar is in the electric car market.  Aston Martin, Mercedes, BMW are all in the mix.  All high-end supercars.

 

So my question is, if moving to electric transportation is critical for our environment, economy, and the future of our planet, why is everybody building electric supercars with super price tags?  Does that make any sense?  Do we only need 600 - 800 horsepower electric cars?  We can’t just tune some of them down to affordable moderately powered commuters with an adequate range, and be there already?
