Exactly what I mean with this trend that "bigger is faster".
The eMotor is more like a gas transmission.
So its more like you put in an extra 200lb 10-speed transmission in your gas car to make it faster, which actually makes it slower because its heavier.

The power in an electric car comes primarily from the batteries and the controller.
