how do you feel about electric performance cars?

Evs are pretty cool from a performance standpoint.While our electrical grid cant support it yet there are some niche applications where an all electric powertrain flat out destroys a gas or diesel engine.Drag racing,trails dirt biking,even offroading.anything where "range" isnt a big deal.The nice thing about an electric motor is its torque curve, 100% of your power is available from the word "go".Even a stout v8 engine doesnt make any meaningful power below 1500 rpm,diesels make max torque at about 1500 rpm, an electric motor makes max torque at "zero" rpm.Granted my only experience with EV's is my 56v lawnmower.Its impossible to stall it with a full battery.I use it cut my lawn as well as mow a lot with tall weeds.If you take too big of a bit with a gas lawnmower it will bog down and then eventually stall, with the electric it will bog down for a millisecond until the controller supplies more juice to motor then its back up and cutting like nothing happened.Its awesome that the only thing I have to do maintenance wise is wash out the deck and sharpen the blade, just charge the battery and its good to go.Its a hell of a lot simpler than the yearly tune up required with a gas engine.As an added bonus, it is quiet enough that I can mow in the dark without pissing off my neighbors which is handy when I spend all day doing 9-5 type stuff and get home after its dark..

As far as the "range" issue with EV's, my 93 dakota 5.2/automatic/4wd on 32" tires has a "range" of 185 miles before the low fuel light comes on with a 22 gallon tank.I can't go anywhere offroad unless I carry a couple extra gallons of gas.Alot of EV's have a range at least that if not more, unlike my truck the ev could refill at my house so its day to day range could be unlimited.most cars that get great mpg are also tiny so they have tiny fuel tanks as well so their range isnt much better.a geo metro gets 35 mpg but it only has a 10 gallon tank.But the range issue is stupid, how many of you do enough driving that you have to fill up your tank every day?my dakota is the only thing I have owned where I worry about "range" with it simply because it gets crap mpg and the fuel gauge doesnt work, other than the odometer and the low fuel light I have no way of knowing how much fuel it actually has.
