It is nice to have the option for faster acceleration even if it is rarely used. As Redpoint says there is very little extra cost and no efficiency lost by installing a larger motor. The lesson automakers have learned from looking at US EV sales is that low power EVs don’t sell

If you want a FWD EV CUV the Nissan Ariya is the vehicle for you.
