100% its limited because it will thermal throttle over 90 mph. Prius had inverter heat issues so i assume its the same for most ev's as well since they are designed for efficiency not racing (so far). But that whole horsepower thing is relative. My 2010 prius doesnt have 150hp and this car will do 120 mph and ive maintained 100 mph for three hours going across empty Arkansas Interstates. (Fayetteville to Jonesboro; 3 bours vs 4.5 hr) I think speed averaged was closer to 90 mph and it averaged 31 mpg.
