0-60mph in under a second is pretty amazing for an electric (or any) vehicle though - those nano-polymer lithion-ion batteries from MIT put out 1/2 a MegaWatt of power and take no time to wind up ...it's just best if you're an inventor geek without a helmet not to ram it into parked vans when trying to burn rubber in front of interviewers though... :shock:

With electric motors, there would be no compression braking, so letting off the throttle would hardly slow you down at all. It looks like he forgot to close the throttle at all, though.
