The slowest is in normal v6 range. However its stupid easy to make a EV do sub 4 0-60 compared to an ICE. There is also almost no penalty to having that ability compared to ICE where you'll suffer poor fuel mileage. A much greater percentage of EV's are going to be fast. Once you get to mass adoption you'll see it show up more.Its one thing when its a handful of car and another when its a quarter of a third of cars.

TBH I've been wondering for a few years if the government will clamp down on acceleration as it become more common. I wouldn't be shocked to see something like full power only unlocks in 'track mode' after you click through a lawyer nag. Cars make you to that for things like ESC and launch control today.
