    Ah yes, the advantage of electric over gasoline. Electric: nail the throttle, and BAM! You get instantaneous response! First it's there, and then it's gone.

    Gasoline engine? Hit the throttle, then the throttle body opens, the injectors spray more fuel, and the rotating components build momentum.
