Mini aims to bring the John Cooper Works brand into the modern era with its new electric drivetrain, but the brand will continue to focus on the fun side of driving in its performance EVs. Mini Coopers are known for their nimble handling and fun driving characteristics, while electric cars are often heavy, despite great acceleration. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Mini-rejects-ludicrous-acceleration-to-keep-go-kart-fun-for-upcoming-JCW-performance-EV-promises-light-weight-and-fun-driving.767406.0.html
This is good. With new ICE cars, there is very little emissions from burning fuel. The worst problems are from particulate matter from wear and tear on the the tires, which is worse on heavy vehicles. EVs tend to be far heavier than gas vehicles, so their impact ends up being much worse.
