Correction. My Camaro is rated at 4.8 second 0-60 and 13.1 for the quarter.

But they will see their fuel cost spike if there is a spike in electricity prices, which there could be to fund the vast expansion of infrastructureThere are a lot of benefits with a electric both for society the buyer and the society. That the consumer can most of the time charge their car at home or at the work without going to the gas station. Also they will not see there fuel cost spike if there are a new mayor conflict in the Middle East. Electric cars also offer a smooth ride and good performance like for example this new Ford Mustang.

You also have the massive social cost of being dependent on fossil fuels. From global warming and toxic pollution to costly wars in the Middle East and supporting some of the world's most brutal and fundamentalist regimes.
But they will see their fuel cost spike if there is a spike in electricity prices, which there could be to fund the vast expansion of infrastructure
for things like work charging stations. We also do not know what changing the peak loads to nighttime hours will do.

None of which addresses moving the peak load period to nighttime!Over 70 percent of car sales was electric or hybrids with around half being pure electric during september in Norway. Without any real problems with infrastructure.

Also the battery capacity of new electric are roughly ten times the daily commute. So most of time electric cars can be charge then it the greatest surplus of electricity. Also the better and better lifespan of electric car battery means that they can be used for energy storage and help regulate supply and demand.
Tesla May Soon Have a Battery That Can Last a Million Miles | WIRED
Also home systems with both solar panels and storage are getting more and more common and affordable. That can both save a lot of money for families and help to regulate supply and demand.
It’s quite possible to turn our homes into micro-generation stations
Supply and demand...
I wonder how long into the production of electric cars, that gasoline will be cheaper to run. Electric prices can skyrocket as demand outpaces production. Gasoline will just get cheaper as less is used at the same time.
LOL...
0-60 mid six seconds.
LOL...
Tesla does that in what? 3.2 seconds?
Ford has a long was to go.
The Blackbird does it in 6.3 seconds, and that was an old 70's vintage without computer stuff. My SLP modified Camaro I believe is rated at 5.1 seconds.
New EV Battery Can Charge in 10 Minutes
This is an interesting development, I wonder if they can do it without compromising the battery life,
or worse catching the car on fire.
There is also a trick or getting 75 Kwh of energy transferred in 10 minuets.
The top trim mach e is expected to do it in the mid 3 second range. The new Tesla truck in 3 seconds (while being bullet resistant to 9 mm handgun rounds)

Yes, but then it costs so much more.
I haven't looked at new car prices lately, but it seems you are getting base performance acceleration for the more powerful Mustang price. Then to get the high performance version, you have to pay about double the gasoline version.
See my point?
Now I don't know what the SLP modified I have cost new, but I can fathom it costing about $35k in 1996. Today, it's hard to find since it isn't just a SLP modified, but a convertible too. When I bought my 2000 Z28 new off the lot, its sticker price was just under $27k. The convertible option added another $6k at the time.Not considered a classic yet, but someone looking to buy one would have to pay me more than $50k to part with it now. It's very rare today considering only a few hundred convertibles were made SLP modified that year. Only 56 like mine.
The rarity could make it a classic, the performance of those years are soundly beaten by equivalent model today. The SS today does 0-60 in the low 4 second range . The 2 L turbo with the 1LE option does it in just over 5 seconds.
It is unbelievable the performance that cars today are getting. Especially considering that a modern Camry with the V6 engine is likely faster than all but the special packages from the muscle car heyday of the late 60s
This is why I think it's laughable than an electric mustang doesn't do around 5 second base.
In some ways, 75 Kwh of energy in the form of electricity in 10 minuets, is a steep hill to climb.Interesting for sure.
The future looks bright.

That is like 480 volts at 937 amps, A single flaw could cause a deadly arc flash.
This would not be like a gasoline fire, the damage would be done in less than a millisecond.
