Re: Electric torque
'Just as an aside, it's possible that hybrids or electrics, which have huge torque capacity when the electric motor is in the loop, may not respond to brakes as effectively as an internal combustion engine.'
Good point.
Check out the torque from this electric car
BTW, the driver of the Toyota in the San Diego crash which killed all four in the vehicle was a highway patrolman. Witnesses said the brakes were glowing red and smoking. They didn't stop the Lexus.
