Literal 0-60 is rare, assuming that we wish to stay legal. One scenario would be merging onto CA 110 from any of the on-ramps, north of Los Angeles and south of Pasadena. Cars come to a complete stop (stop sign), then have maybe 200' to accelerate to full highway speed. I see soccer moms in minivans floor-it, spinning their front tires, making maximum effort to accelerate into traffic. Anything less than absolute full throttle would be stupid and dangerous. And no, traffic won't relent and won't leave a gap... meanwhile 20 other cars are standing there further up the ramp, waiting.
Much more common would be poking-along at 15 mph, and needing to accelerate to 35 mph... because that's the speed limit. Why 15 mph? Somebody up-ahead is turning, merging, pulling into/out of something. Or maybe just a traffic jam that suddenly opens up. Again, it's absolute maximum effort to accelerate, Scotty telling the Captain that she's giving it all that she has... but only for a brief number of seconds... and no, not to exceed the speed limit.
This is where EVs particularly excel. What's needed is neither low 0-60 nor quarter mile times, but sudden, violent, brief, on-demand acceleration. Just a burst of "speed", and then back to lackadaisical and sedate cruising. Sometimes this burst is extremely brief... just adding 10 mph or even 5 mph; so, go from 20 mph to 25 mph, but in a fraction of a second. In heavy traffic, this might happen 2-3 times a minute, for an hour-long (or longer) commute.
