Whenever I hear people talk about acceleration in electric cars, they talk about the instant torque. I think I have an okay understanding of what torque is, but what does it mean for it to be “instant “?
In: Mathematics
You know how a gas car takes a little bit to get get up to speed?
Compare that to a golf cart, or a radio controlled toy car. As soon as you press the accelerator, it starts going as fast as it can without any ramp up. The only thing keeping it from reaching max speed instantly is inertia of the mass it’s trying to accelerate.
