Break the world record! German college students build the fastest electric car: zero-hundred acceleration takes only 1.4 seconds

Compared with fuel vehicles, electric vehicles can output the maximum torque vehicle when they just start, so the acceleration of electric vehicles from zero to zero is generally faster. And now, the zero-hundred-acceleration record of electric vehicles has been refreshed once again. Recently, according to foreign media news quoted by cnBeta, a group of college students in Stuttgart, Germany, built an electric racing car , which accelerated from zero to 100 in 1.416 seconds. The fastest electric car with hundreds of accelerations.

According to Xiaolei’s understanding, this electric racing car was built by the “Green Team” racing team formed by 20 students from University of Stuttgart . The weight of the whole car is less than 145 kg Coupled with a 180kW four-drive powertrain, the car can achieve a maximum acceleration of 2.5G. must know that the peak acceleration of the current F1 car is only about 2G, so it is not surprising that this car can break the world record.


Of course, this car can break the Guinness World Record, mainly because of its lightweight design. Since the car's material is almost entirely carbon fiber, it has an ultra-low curb weight and is naturally faster. All in all, this group of college students contributed a lot to this car's acceleration performance. After all, without their practice, it would be difficult for us to see the new record of electric vehicle acceleration. This is also a commendable thing. So, can mainstream electric vehicles on the market achieve this level?

Xiao Lei believes that it is difficult to achieve at this stage. Because the current mass of electric vehicles cannot be as light as electric racing cars , ​​only some electric supercars are expected to achieve this result. Although many car companies now pursue the ultimate zero-to-hundred-speed acceleration in order to show their technical strength, but for safety reasons, major car companies will not set the zero-to-hundred speed so fast.


What's more, for current consumers, even if the current car companies achieve such a fast zero-to-hundred acceleration, it is not very attractive to them, because they are more concerned about whether electric vehicles are safe enough, Whether it is durable or not, such a fast zero-to-hundred acceleration is a burden for them.
