The ONLY time I "raced" my Nissan Leaf was in 2016 when I was stopped at a red light next to a young kid in a Honda or something on a lovely Fall day and I slid the passenger window down and looked over at him and asked him if he wanted to "go for it"? He nodded yes so I slid the passenger window back up as I heard him revving his Internal Combustion Engine powered POS as I smiled and placed my foot over the accelerator pedal of the Leaf and thought to myself "He has no idea what to expect!"

When the light turned green I floored it and he tried to keep up but with the immediate TORQUE my Leaf has he just could not and by the time I got to a little jog in the road I looked at my speedo and was going 75MPH and was still accelerating! I beat him to Delmar too and educated him about electric cars! :-) And when first off the red light I regularly once again will beat every ICE vehicle on the road across any street! It's that quick!
