Reply to comment by [deleted] in ELI5: Why are electric car engines/motors able to accelerate so much faster (0-60 mph) than internal combustion engines? by jacobhottberry
Was pitched a company doing add-on electric drive for F-150 pickups. They had a few dozen on the road, it Was not just vaporware.
The motor was claimed to make 400hp and was a cylinder roughly 14 inches long x 11 inches diameter. I did not verify this claim. I don't recall the torque spec.
But to be fair to both EV and ICE, you need to factor in the battery mass and volume, against gas tank mass and volume.
