Electric motors produce power differently from a combustion engine. In a combustion engine, the torque builds up gradually, reaches a peak and tails off slightly. In an electric motor, you have instant 100% (almost) torque and horsepower as soon as the motor is rotating. This is why the teslas have insane 0-60 mph time, under 3 seconds, 2.6 or 2.7 you need to check yourself. Putting theory into it and using head over heart, electric off roaders do make sense.
I am a die hard petrolhead but I'm slowly starting to come around to the idea of it. Adapt and survive. I still think this looks like the top gear electric car though, meccano and a few sheets of aluminum. They should have hired pininfarina or someone and at least made it look modern.
