Feeling your way with the accelerator
At first, Nunome struggled with how to use the e-BOXER's motor. A motor can be made to work exactly as much as you want, when you want, and it turns properly even at low speed. On rough roads you want to feel your way with the accelerator, like walking while feeling the ground with your feet. You can't do that unless the car moves exactly as much as you press, and a motor can do it. They applied that responsiveness where it was truly needed.
