BTW, 30 kW is approx 40 bhp. Which is less than virtually any car on the
market today. The Prius which is a dog performance wise has over three
times that as well as a larger battery pack.


40hp is quite drivable in the average car, but it does mean digital
driving, ie throttle at 0 or 100% most of the time. Its been decades
since mainstream cars were like that here, but they still are in many
countries.

The Yo-Mobile is driven 100% by electric motors. The speed of the engine
doesn't have to fully correlate with the driving wheels.


In your world that 40 bhp is somehow increased by driving an electric
motor? Only you could believe this.
