Can an electric car go as fast backwards as forwards? I would imagine all electric vehicles are speed limited in reserve and no I wouldn't have the bottle to try in mine once it's delivered but could it?

Mines limited to around 20mph. Although amusingly it does hit that speed as fast in reverse as forwards..

But sure, if it weren't for the electronics governing the speed, they could all be as fast in reverse as forwards.

No ideas for a name

A bit like the DAF66.
Google "DAF Reverse Car Racing"

Yes. There was a way to remove the limiter on the Nissan Leaf temporarily so that it could do 96 MPH in reverse.
