Yes, the increased torque available from a hybrid car's electric motor can potentially cause more wear on the drivetrain components, particularly the tires, due to the near-instantaneous torque delivery, which can lead to increased wheel spin, especially during aggressive acceleration or in...
Yes, true. But it may be as others have said. That the angle is more than it should be, and that electric motors produce more torque at lower rpm's.
I am just Hypothesizing. It may and/or may not be a cause.
Just my two cents worth, because the problem seems to be on hybrids mostly.
I wonder if there is more low end torque Associated with electric motors causing more strain on the joints at take off?
That's what my boss/friend of 36 years told me. I have always gotten what I need, compromised for my family. Family first. But the kids are grown and on their own. Guess I need to do me now.
Thanks.
yeah it's been back and forth, i commute 40 miles round trip in hellish traffic. but hopefully only three more years, maybe 4. after that I don't expect I will be driving a lot.
And I could save a few grand on a 24 EB AWD if i can find one with what I want.
It will be the first brand new vehicle...
Just wondering what others are thinking.
I could save a few thousand on a 24 awd eb, or save on gas with the 25 hybrid. When did a few simple calculations after 6 years or so it looks like wash.
Your thoughts?
