Electric vehicles are ready-made for insane acceleration numbers.
The most obvious factor helping EVs is the immediate torque from the electric motors.
Instant torque allows EVs to rip off the line with zero lag.

Lastly, EVs use advanced AWD systems to make the most of the available traction.
These factors combine to crown EVs as the automotive acceleration champs.
The result is a super slippery vehicle that doesn’t notice the wind.

The great aero positively impacts its range, but even more important is how quickly it can accelerate.
During the same testing, the hypercar gobbled up the 1/4 mile in a ludicrous 7.97 seconds.
In fact, the McMurtry makes the Rimac seem lethargic in comparison.

ARimac press releasesays the EV powerhouse is the fastest EV in the world in terms of top speed.
With the help of its (four!)
electric motors, the Rimac Nevera will catapult from 0-60 MPH in an astonishing 1.85 seconds.

If the McMurtry Speirling didn’t exist, the Rimac would certainly occupy its own realm.
The Rimac also looks like a true hypercar, something that not many other EVs can brag about.
But, at the present moment, the Lucid Air Sapphire reigns supreme over the performance EV sedan segment.
Tesla Model S Plaid: 1.99 Seconds
Finally!
It’s also a great daily driver, transporting you and your passengers in comfort.
Yes, the Plaid is a complete vehicle that does everything well.
But, on this list, taking 1.99 seconds to 60 miles per hour is an eternity.
One thing the Plaid has going for it is price.
It’s the cheapest car on this list and probably offers the most performance for your dollar.
The thing is, at this level, price isn’t that big of a deal.
It’s a truly breathtaking SUV and an all-out acceleration machine.
It’s also super roomy and features the coolest doors of any vehicle on the market.
The Taycan doesn’t really have much going for it.
Its range is also lackluster, which is unacceptable when considering the Tesla costs less and has better performance.
But now the quickest accelerating cars on the road are electric.
