Top 10 most powerful electric cars

Here, we gather the top 10 most powerful electric cars. Number 1 will surprise you!

05 Jul 2022

If you are planning to switch to an electric car, you may wonder if EVs are as powerful as internal combustion engine models and if they can satisfy your requirements. The good news is there are powerful electric cars from different manufacturers, and you will find something that suits you. Here, we gather the top 10 most powerful electric cars. Number 1 will surprise you!

About electric cars and kW / horsepower

Electric cars produce propulsion with the help of electric motors. This means that even when the total kW / horsepower is similar to an ICE, EVs have the added advantage of instantly having full torque available when you press the accelerator. As such, the first thing drivers new to EVs notice is that the car accelerates rapidly from zero velocity, making it look very powerful.
