Bom dia,
Por favor, preciso de ajuda com o termo abaixo. Do ponto de vista de um condutor entendo que seja algo que seja como "arrancar" rispidamente (?), mas nao encontro o termo.
Muito grata!
It should come as no surprise that gradual acceleration from a stop is far more efficient for an electric vehicle's powertrain than 'flooring it'.
