When the electric cars first eered the market, they used basic technologies and did not move the performance boundaries. Models like Peugeot ION and Citroen C-Zero, which were released in year 6, were a sign of the future, but were famous for their low speed (both in driving and charging).
But since then, there has been a lot of progress, and some electric cars have reached the highest performance levels to be among the fastest cars in the world. Today, the new generation of electric supercar has erased the memories of slow and inefficie past cars.
These cars break the speed records and successfully pass acceleration tests. The reason for their astonishing performance is also clear: powerful, compact, and an insta torque that offers a unique reaction.
Some of these cars are equipped with four independe electric motors that are carefully corolled and transmit power without wasting. In addition, new lithium-ion batteries have advanced thermal manageme systems that allow maximum power use at all momes.
But what is the fastest electric car right now? The official record is owned by Rimac Nevera, which has accelerated 1 to 2 km / h in 1.5 seconds. In this article, you will be iroduced to ten of the fastest electric cars in the world.
1. Aspark Owl
Japan‘s fledgling supercar company has been able to consolidate its position among the fastest cars in the world in the short term. Undoubtedly, this car is one of the fastest examples ever made. In year 2, the car set two world records:
- He passed one eighth mile at an average speed of 1.5 km / h.
- He passed a quarter mile with an average speed of 1.5 km / h.
Then, on November 7, he managed to break the Guinness record of the fastest battery -powered supercar with a speed of 1 mph (1.5 km / h). This supercar, which takes power from four electric motors, has a stunning power of 4 hp. This has led to the acceleration of 1 to 2 km / h in only 1.5 seconds. Even manufacturing engineers believe that this time can be reduced for a few tehs of a second!
The car uses a 2kW battery that offers a 5 -kilometer range. Aspark plans to produce only 4 units of the car, each with a price of £ 1.5m.
2. Neavera Rimak
Rimak started almost nothing, but it became the leader of the electric car industry as fast as the Novra flagship model range from 1 to 2 kilometers per hour. (This is 1.5 seconds, while capturing a speed of 1 km / h in only 1.5 seconds.)
With Porsche’s investme and membership in the Bugatti family, the Croatian company has been able to outperform many of the older automakers in the field of powerful electricity technology. The Neavera is a two -person carbon fiber body that produces four torque corol motors (one for each wheel) and a total of 5 hp.
These engines are powered by a 2 kW battery, which has a range of 2 kilometers, with an almost £ 5m price tag. There is also a more powerful version, Neavera R, which has a power of 2 horsepower and records 1 to 2 km / h acceleration in 1.5 seconds. Also, the car will reach a speed of 5 km / h faster than a Volkswagen Golf at the top of the highway.
1. Pininfarina Batista
Under the Battista’s handsome carbon fiber shell, there is the same propulsion used in Rimac Neave. With four electric motors and composite 4 -horsepower, the car’s performance is cruel, and the company claims to record 1 to 2 km / h in less than 5 seconds.
In Battista, the fro engines each produce 6 horsepower and the rear engines each have 6 horsepower. Each of these motors alone was enough, but four motors offered a full power of 4 horsepower.
Although the car is closely related to Rimak, only about 5 % of their parts are common, so they will receive a fully customized car, each paying £ 5m for Pininfarina. In fact, Italian designers say Battista is more of a long distance Grand Torner than a rough car like RIMAC that focuses on high performance.
1. Lotus Evija
Four years after the initial unveiling, the first Lotus Evija production models finally reached the hands of their patie owners. With 4 horsepower, Evija is not only one of the fastest electric cars on the market right now, but it is also one of the fastest cars ever built. Lotus claims that the car can accelerate in less than 2 seconds from 1 to 2 km / h, but more amazing is that it reaches a speed of 2 km / h in 2.5 seconds!
The lack of an iernal combustion engine and gear shift will undoubtedly change the experience of driving with a track -specific superconducting, even more than it is feeling when driving with a regular electric car on the road. However, although numbers related to the car’s performance in the headlines, Lotus emphasizes that the Evija is still loyal to the brand’s light roots and offers an exciting driving experience.
The target weight may seem a little too much at first glance, but it is lighter than many electric supercars. In addition, advanced driving modes and precision -developed four -wheel -drive torque system were admired in the test on a prototype.
1. Porsche Turobo GT
Any Porsche Tikani you choose will undoubtedly be fast and great, but none are as fast as Taycan Turbo GT, one of the fastest electric cars to buy today.
The model uses the same battery and hardware of the Taycan Turbo S version, but with the software inspired by the Porsche E Formula, it works to another level. The overall power is 2 horsepower and torque of 2 pounds, which makes the acceleration of 1 to 2 km / h just 2.5 seconds.
But if you don’t always wa to press the gas pedal to the end, the Taycan 2 -kW battery will provide you with a 5 -kilometer range. Also, if you choose the Weissach package, you will receive a larger rear wing, aerodynamic panel under the body as well as a 5kg weight loss, which is achieved thanks to the use of lighter glass, rear seats and other parts.
1. Lucid Air
Undoubtedly, Lucid Air is one of the most expected electric cars of the year and has nothing to do with numbers. Developed in California and designed as a stunning concept car, this flagship version of the Dream Edition offers up to 4 hp from two electric motors, offering a final speed of 2 km / h and claiming to be charged at a time.
The Lucid Air performs the best in the form of an innovative, efficie and demanding luxury sedan, and Lucid should follow this route for the evolution of the car. Of course this car is too fast; Despite the weight of more than two tons, it can reach 2 km / h in just 2.5 seconds.
But it’s not just the car itself that is fast. Lucid claims that the Air can support up to 5 kW fast charging, meaning that it can be added to just 2 kilometers in just 5 minutes.
1. Tesla Model S Plaid
The Tesla Model S Plaid is available in the UK only from inside the warehouse and with the left steering wheel, but this does not make it not one of the fastest electric cars on the market. This Tesla flagship sedan does not waste time when it comes to speed and performance; Its three electric motors, with 2 horsepower, record acceleration of 1 to 2 km / h in 1.5 seconds.
It should be borne in mind, however, that Tesla uses the North American acceleration standard, which starts time after the car moves as much as one -third. This reduces the stability of about one -teh of a second of the actual starter.
In actual experimes, the more accurate time of 1.5 seconds is recorded in aggressive driving mode. However, this figure is still not something that can be ignored and faster than the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Yes, Model S handling is still as cruel as talking to a dry stone wall, but when it comes to absolute acceleration, no other four -family car in the world reaches Tesla.
1. Audi E-Tron GT Rs Performance
At the end of the year, many changes were made to the Audi E-Tron GT, including improved productivity, weight loss, and most importaly, the increase in performance that has brought it to this list. In the most powerful version, the E-Tron GT RS Performance, the car has two 2-horsepower electric motors and can accelerate in 1.5 seconds from 1 to 2 km / h.
Of course, if you succeed in draining the batteries (which with this acceleration is not a difficult task), you can enjoy the 4 -kW charge. Audi claims that the range is up to 5 kilometers, but in real experimes, the figure is more recorded about 2 kilometers.
Of course, the RS Performance model is extremely fast, but you don’t need it. The version S version with 6 horsepower still looks very fast and exciting, and it will be a more logical option.
1. Maserati Graurismo Folgore
However, Maserati has delayed the world of electric cars, it certainly had a successful start. This electric car is based on the new Graurismo Sport, a car that is specifically designed to accommodate both iernal and electric propellers. Maserati comes in this new model with a set of advanced equipme that takes it to a higher level.
The car is a little bit of audio charm than the older versions of the Graurismo, which played a big role in their charm, but it is still a lovely car, even if it is approximately 1.5 tonnes.
Three electric motors (two in the rear and one in the fro) produce 6 hp, which uses a lightweight aluminum structure to accelerate from 1 to 2 km / h in 1.5 seconds. The car also uses a 4V architecture, which allows the battery to quickly charge a battery from 1 to 2 perce in just 5 minutes. In addition, driving Folgore works very well with quick acceleration and an agile handling that can be corolled thanks to the torque vector.
1. Tesla Model 1
The second Tesla car on this list is neither the cybercate nor the longer that we have been waiting for long (and probably never available), but the Tesla brand’s smallest car. While the standard version of the car is enough to reach you in 1.5 seconds from 1 to 2 km / h, the Performance Model 2 version operates with 2 horsepower, all -wheel disposal and acceleration in just 1.5 seconds. The model reaches a final speed of 2 km / h.
The fact is that Model 3 is simply a pleasa car that you have a good relationship with everyday use, and quality improvemes make it more like a luxury product, as the brand always claims.
The car’s range is 2 kilometers, but if you wa to enjoy all the poteial of the Model 2, you will probably not get it. In addition to the comfortable seats, the adaptive suspension and high -end wheels, this Model 2 version, which is at the highest level, is decorated with carbon fiber coatings to give it a more sporty appearance.
