Hmm, I'm intrigued by the thought of not having a penalty for accelerating rapidly, if this is true then it might actually be more efficient to reach cruising speeds sooner, but as you say more data will tell. I really hope this is the case, that makes the dream of owning an electric sports car that much more desirable. I saw a $250,000 electric supercar called the Lightning GT, it was AWD with a motor directly driving each wheel so the drivetrain losses were negligible, combined with very low COD gave it a 200 mile range on 36 KwH worth of batteries, or about the equivalent energy in a gallon of gas. It sounds like you can have your cake and eat it too, but apparently only with electric.
