Nobody but you said anything about ICE, you are making a straw man argument.
And saying converting from kW to hp has anything to do with torque is as moronic as claiming that km/h and mp/h are measuring different things, when they are obviously not, they are both accurate measurements of speed. In the exact same way kW and hp are both measurements of power. They are merely different scales, and I only made the conversion to make it easier to understand the power in relation to a vehicle.
For instance many EV’s have 150 kW engines, (including mine), But in many car pages they are stated as 204 hp.
150 kW and 204 hp is EXACTLY the same, just like 3.5 kW is exactly the same as 4.7 hp, or almost 5 as I wrote.
As it turns out the article is wrong about the kW only being 3.5 kW, the true number is 13.5 kW, which makes the claimed performance figures way more plausible.
Just because an electric engine can output it’s max performance faster, and doesn’t have to rev up first, doesn’t mean it has more than the stated power. Yes with an ICE car it would be worse in acceleration, but when it is revved up, they would have similar performance. Going 50 km/h which is the top speed of the car, it is obviously revved up to the max.
But for some reason you got upvotes? Sad to see that people are so easy to mislead with nonsense.
As I stated before, the performance claimed for the car is simply impossible with only a 3.5 kW engine, and as it turns out it is 13.5 kW.
So your “why not” question is based on ignorance, and your whole comment is an argument from ignorance.
Of course I know what an ICE car is, what the fuck makes you think I don’t?
You are the one that constantly get the terms wrong, and claim they mean something they don’t.
Bruh you bouncing all over this thread and getting it wrong in literally every fucking place you can.
THATS why I think you don’t know what ICE means.
Do you own an EV? Have you ever driven one fully loaded with fat boys versus an ICE shitbox with allegedly the same horse power? I have. I do weekly. I have many fat friends and we drive up hills.
You started this conversation on horsepower then moved the goal posts when it was inconvenient for you to stick with that framing. And moving it to Kw doesn’t change that, and its because there is a lot of “stuff” that happens between a watt being consumed (either via burning fuel or drawing from a battery) and an thing being propelled forwards, either on a flat surface or up a hill. And all that “stuff” make huge differences in terms of performance. Engineering actually matters for real world performance.

So you are very clearly new to the ev space.
ICE: Internal combustion engine.
You aren’t worth the bother. You simply don’t have a clue.
