Electric motors are great at low speed torque which is why it helps the gas milage so much with city driving. I bet it also can take a chunk out of the 0-60 time.
The next step is to add power regeneration during braking.
If this is practical, I am sure the big car manufacturers will just do an end-run around any patent with their own tweaks and then it will just be a lawsuit battle.
