Foreign media tested the fastest electric car from 0-60 mph, and it turned out to be the first place

The fastest electric car tested by foreign media took first place in the 0-60 mph category

【phoneauto】In the era when fuel-powered cars dominated, the performance of automobiles was mainly limited by the vehicle’s engine. Therefore, producing a supercar with strong acceleration and top speed was a very high threshold. This is also why there are very few Supercars and even Hypercars in the era of fuel-powered cars, and they are also very expensive.

However, with the rise of electric cars, this situation has been fundamentally overturned. Due to the different driving methods, electric cars have particularly impressive performance, especially in terms of acceleration. The acceleration performance that may only be achieved in million-dollar fuel-powered cars can be achieved in electric cars priced at only several hundred thousand yuan. This also reflects an advantage of electric cars, which is that they can utilize instant torque for acceleration.

However, this does not mean that all electric cars are fast. There are some more affordable electric cars on the market, such as the Chevrolet Bolt EV and Hyundai Kona Electric. They are agile to drive in the city, but they do not have any outstanding speed. However, there are also some high-performance electric cars that can rival and even surpass the fastest fuel-powered sports cars in the world.

In this article, we will introduce some of the fastest electric cars currently on the market and those that are about to be launched. We will not consider some niche brands, such as Rimac and Pininfarina, because their quantity is very limited and they lack third-party testing. We will also not solely rely on data provided by manufacturers, but will refer to the 0-60 mph and quarter-mile test times published by Motor Trend to rank the current electric cars in terms of acceleration, and also make a brief inventory of those electric cars that will be launched soon and have powerful performance.

Tesla Model S Plaid is currently the fastest electric car on the market, ranking top in both 0 to 60 mph acceleration and quarter-mile time.
