0–100 km/hs
0-100 km/h time measures full-throttle acceleration from standstill. It matters when it changes overtaking, traction, towing confidence or repeated hard driving. EV performance is limited by battery output, inverters, motors, tyres and heat management.
How to compare it
Use it as a performance clue, not a daily comfort score. Mid-speed acceleration and smooth pedal tuning often matter more in normal driving.
- Compare output with kerb weight and drivetrain.
- Look for repeatability, not only one launch number.
- Tyres decide how much performance reaches the road.
What changes it
Performance moves with state of charge, battery temperature, motor limits, tyre grip, road surface and whether the car can repeat the output.
- Peak output can drop at low charge or high temperature.
- Grip limits launch performance before motor power does.
- Weight decides how much power is needed to feel quick.
Common trap
Quoted times can require launch mode, warm battery, high state of charge and ideal grip.
- Battery state and temperature can limit power.
- AWD helps launch grip, not braking distance.
0–100 km/h: power to the road
Motor output only becomes acceleration when the battery, inverter, tyres and traction control agree.
