EV that you can drive >300 miles on a single charge - completely novel.

EV that accelerates from 0-60 in under 2.5 - completely novel.

Novel is something new or not resembling something formally known or used. Just because they have the best spec sheet at the moment doesn't make it novel or revolutionary.

If you look at Wikipedia it says electric cars were faster than gas cars until about 1900.

Are you suggesting you can drive a 1900 electric car for 300+ miles on a charge and go from 0-60 in 2.5s?
