To get going again, lift off the brake, press the accelerator pedal and a nudge from the electric motor sets you in motion.

I press the accelerator a little harder and the engine roars in response.

Drivers, surveying dry, open plains and little other traffic, press the accelerator, lulled into a false sense of freedom.

Warily, then, you put the one-speed gearbox into drive, press the accelerator and off you go.

But it bellows approval when you press the accelerator.
