Gone are the days when electric vehicles were inferior to traditional internal combustion engine-powered cars in terms of range, acceleration, and speed.

Top 10 fastest accelerating electric cars (0-60 mph)Top 10 fastest electric cars (top MPH)So what?

As technology advances, electric cars push past their limitations. Electric motors now yield instant torque, enabling quicker acceleration than ICE cars that need to build up power. EVs also now achieve top speeds that compete with or even beat high-performance gas cars.

They say time flies when you're having fun. Well, we must be having a blast because we've shattered every speed record imaginable—27, to be precise. This easily justifies the creation of a special edition car made just for this purpose – Nevera Time Attack. pic.twitter.com/agXYZuWIco

Marques Brownlee on the $250k Lucid Air Sapphire: "If you made me daily drive any EV in the world right now & it couldn't be a Tesla, it would be this; It's just way too good at driving to not pick it. I don't see any downsides with this car. It's the best sedan in the world."… pic.twitter.com/4LKYYXGqwq
