Electric car does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.
http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/27/shelbys-amazing-aero-ev-0...
Man juices in a boil? No shame, that's Shelby Super Cars' Aero EV in pursuit of the "world's fastest production electric car" title. SSC just came
clean with the details behind its All-Electric Scalable Powertrain (AESP) producing 1,000 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of torque that rips the Aero EV
through 0 to 60 in just 2.5 seconds at a 208mph top speed. Compare that to the Tesla Roadster's 0-60 in 3.9 seconds (or 3.7 for the 2009 sport model)
and you'll understand all the hubbub, bub. Better yet, the 150-220 mile battery can be refilled in just 10 minutes (Tesla takes 3.5 hours) from a 220V
service thanks to what SSC calls its "Charge on the Run" onboard charging system -- something that nearly eliminates (or at least minimizes) the need
for a battery swapping infrastructure. The first full-scale, pre-production Ultimate Aero EV should be on the streets before June with production
deliveries expected in the fourth quarter. Now we just need a price.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Wow, and that 800ft/lbs. is available at any rpm too, that's one of the cool things about electric motors.

When will this be a reality for everyone?
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.
