I guess the simple question is, is burning rubber illegal?

          Prima facie evidence of unnecessary exhibition of speed shall be squealing or screeching sounds emitted by the tires, or the throwing of dirt by the tires of the vehicle, or both

          EVs can accelerate quickly while not making much noise… I guess it’s okay to quickly accelerate with an EV then?

        It should be, if not. Pedestrians need to cross roads. Other cars need to enter roads, change lanes, etc. Cars accelerating at unreasonable rates will cause an accident.

          I agree about pedestrians, but cars changing lanes should to be aware of their surroundings, including cars that are approaching them.

          Cars accelerating at unreasonable rates

          How do you define “unreasonable” though, especially with EVs that can accelerate quickly?

            Unreasonable gives cops and judges a lot of leeway. Words like that should be illegal. If you can’t pin it down, it can’t be a law.

            Unreasonable is any rate of acceleration that other cars can’t safely navigate around and amongst.
