The old go to measure of an internal combustion engines flexibility used to be timed between 50 to 75 or 50 to 70mph in 5th or 6th gear.

With the new EVs now does their instant electric shove only mean they are quick from a standing start or are they just as instant in the mid ranges like the old 50-70?

Its not a subject I think Ive seen in any reviews or the comparisons to ICE stablemates. Also many seem to be limited to 112mph but I guess thats due to what is essentially only having a single gear..
