The ID.4 isn't amazing in acceleration it's only 204 hp. But that's still enough to make it faster than our old Ice car that was 160 hp.
In European terms that makes it go 0-100 km/t in 8,5 sec. That's less than half a second faster than the old ICE car.
BUT, the acceleration is always instantly ready, and it's so quit I barely hear it inside the car.
We could have had a car that goes from 0-100 in less than 5 seconds for the same price, but we chose not to, for 2 reasons, number one I've seen neighbors have stupid things happen because they accelerated too quickly, like a small garden trailer turning over for going too fast through a roundabout. And quite frankly, I know myself well enough to know that I would have a very hard time not to give it a bit of pedal occasionally. The 2nd is that insurance on those faster cars is twice the insurance of our more moderate car.

But despite that, I agree that the acceleration is cool, because it's always ready, it's plenty fast IMO, and it quiet.
AND I also noticed that a bit of acceleration doesn't kill the economy nearly as much as it does in an ICE car. The efficiency when accelerating is way better.

The pedal does not directly control the motor, it inputs a TPS to prevent burnouts. Transmissions don't cause a delay, the progressive torque curve of ICE makes multi speed transmissions necessary. The instant power of EVs is one reason Tesla owners have the highest crash rates.

You can find soo many more openings in traffic,

Please, please, please don't do that. Cars are dangerous things and when traffic is so close that you're looking for openings, it is too congested to get in there. Safety should be your first priority and that means you're looking for openings that even a car with a tiny little one liter engine it has more than enough space to get in. If there isn't a big gap, just sit back and wait for one, It's a sign that your city needs more roads. Not a little more roads like the people say one more lane, a lot more lanes. Generally by the time people are asking for one more lane, they need five times as many lanes. Yes, that's expensive, maybe you should look into public transit instead.

Great safely folks. I've lost enough friends to drivers who were in a hurry. Please don't add another one to that list.

this shows most clearly when you’re starting from a complete stop.

Yes, I have this exact feeling the most when I'm stopped completely at a bigger road I drive into. It's just so damned easy and smooth compared to an ICE car.
