Sure, but there’s still a floor defined by physics. With the right setup, it could lift 5000lbs up a cliff. But it might take a year and hundreds of recharges.
Yeah. That’s the entire point. The engineering changes the experience drastically.
You can’t just say watts are watts and be done with it. Its a reductive approach to do so.
Yeah but the point is given a certain amount of watts, there’s a maximum speed to lift no matter what the setup is. And it doesn’t matter whether you measure that power in Watts, horsepower or Pferdestärke - the maximum speed to lift a given weight is the same.
Its not “bottom line physics is the same” because the fucking aren’t. The actual construction of the fucking vehicle and its power train matters. This why everyone is dismissive of your point. You just straight up wrong here.
Go load up your wife’s Tesla 3 with 1k lbs of cinder blocks, and then find an equivalent stated HP ICE vehicle and do the same. Drive both of them up the same hill and tell me its the same thing. And if you TRULY want to experience the difference, find a manual transmission ICE equivalent.
It’s the same in terms of your maximum optimized speed. Power is power. An ice engine needs to rev high to get high power and an electric motor doesn’t (depending on how it’s wired). But if you optimize the drive train perfectly in either case, there is a maximum speed you can lift a given weight based on the power output of the engine system. v=P/(mg) this is irrelevant of whether your power is coming out of an electric, ice or other type of motor. A typical electric setup would probably get closer to that ideal than a typical ice in terms of achieving their maximum quoted power output. But the electric set up will never exceed it. That’s just physics no matter how much you might like EV cars.
My wife would get mad at me for messing up her car. And while theories should sometimes be empirically verified even when already a standard assumption, in this case the physics is trivial high school level and so fundamental that it’s stupid to bother. And just driving cars doesn’t test it at all anyway - the fact that you think it does, demonstrates that you don’t actually understand the point at all. But you don’t seem to be capable of comprehending what I’m saying, and that fine; it takes all types. Have a good day.

Do you drive an EV?
Yes, sometimes. My wife’s car is a Tesla 3. And yes the feel is very different. But the bottom line physics is still the same.

Stop talking and load the car.
