That’s a nonsense article. Electric cars have been quicker off the line for ages, but they just are not practical for racing in general, never mind daily driving. There was a time when steam cars were way quicker off the line than internal-combustion-engine cars as well, but that doesn’t mean we ought to call for a return to steam automobiles.
I’ll bet my poodle is quicker off the line (for a foot or so), too.
I like the idea myself. A wood pellet stove engine might be just the ticket.
