Electric vehicles are fast. Electric vehicles are very quick in a straight line because of their rapid torque, which provides them an advantage in off-the-line acceleration. An EV’s initial power boost is on par with or sometimes more than that of a supercar. EVs themselves are becoming quicker as electric car technology advances.

A high-performance gasoline-powered car can be readily outperformed by a number of EVs. These five electric vehicles from across the globe are faster than supercars.
