EV vehicles have literally no limits to their output. No emissions controls, no CAFE, nothing. They could make 20,000 HP if they wanted to. Honestly the fact that none of the real companies (or not rimac or some other niche brand) hasn't gone well over 1000hp is surprising. There's genuinely nothing stopping them from it. And they can just do some programming to limit the output to boost traction.
You can make boatloads of power in an ICE car, but you have to emissions it and you have to deal with fuel economy requirements and all that. Still, getting stuff like the V8 ZR1 with 1000hp is pretty crazy. Getting a 1000hp Chevy with a warranty is kinda mind boggling.
