If you want to get going in a hurry, the fastest EVs in the world will get you to 60 mph in under two seconds.
Contents The more affordable electric cars, like the Chevrolet Bolt EV and Hyundai Kona Electric, are zippy around town but nothing to brag about on a drag strip. However, higher-end models like the ones we’re looking at here can keep up with some of the most powerful gasoline-burning sports cars in the world — and in many cases beat them.
The Model S uses a 100kWh battery pack, and Tesla advertises the car as offering an impressive 1,020 horsepower. It’s head and shoulders above any of the competition, with the second car on our list still coming in at 0.4 seconds slower than the Model S Plaid. That’s pretty interesting considering how close many of the options further down this list are.
Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance Lucid is another tech-focused new company, and its efforts have yielded some pretty impressive results. The Lucid Air is available in a number of variants, but the fastest is the Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance, for now. A faster one, called the Lucid Sapphire, is on the way, but it’s not available just yet.
The RS e-tron GT delivers an impressive 637 hp depending on the mode, and it has a 93.4kWh battery. That’s not huge, and you won’t get as much range as the likes of the Model S or the Ludic Air. That’s the cost of such a cool design, I suppose. Notable Upcoming EVs Tesla Model X Plaid The Model X Plaid is extremely close to being in the top section of this list, but having just started rolling out, there’s not enough testing out there to verify its speed just yet. Safe to say, however, it’ll be fast — if you want an SUV-size car that’s so fast it’s silly, the Model X Plaid may be for you.
