Good Idea?

Not that much. What do you think you would have to limit a typical EV to, in order to get 600 miles of range out of (say) an 80 kWh battery?

That I don't know.

But I do know that if you were to take two identical EVs with the same charge to the Nordschleife, drive one around it sedately and the hammer the other one round on the ragged edge you'd cover the same distance but the 2nd one would have used more charge.

Ergo there is the potential to extend the range of a car by limiting its performance.

PS, and apology for my poor wording.

... you sought to compare me to a drunken driver ...

I did write this:

I've seen exactly the same logic used by people arguing that they are OK to drive after a few drinks, possible even safer, as they know to concentrate harder.

You are as disgraceful as them.

The comparison was not between you and drunk drivers, it was between the attitudes expressed by denials of well established safety rules on the grounds that you're special, you're not like other people, you aren't affected by <whatever> like they are.
