    an EV’s electric motor and (usually) single reduction gear means you get basically the same acceleration between 5 km/h and 120 km/h

    Same torque, not same acceleration. Air and roll resistance have something to say too.

      The car increases power as the vehicle’s speed increases, so you really do get the same acceleration force. That’s trivial to do when the drivetrain isn’t wildly flailing around.
