    20hp

    737lb-ft torque

    Sweet Jesus Christ.

    That’s more torque than a lot of modern muscle cars have. I know electric motors can shit out a lot of torque, but holy fuck.

      The Chevy Spark EV was something like 140hp but 330ft-lbs of torque. It was quite ridiculous and I know a lot of people who absolutely loved it.

      It’s because the way we measure torque on electric motors doesn’t compare to the way we measure torque on ICE cars. A “muscle car” will be much, much stronger than these busses even though they claim “700 lb-ft” of torque.
