Five Electric Cars That Are Quicker Than Supercars – Times Now


Hyundai Ioniq 5 N

The instant availability of peak torque from the get-go gives electric vehicles a significant advantage over petrol/diesel powered vehicles.

Electric cars are quick. The instant torque in an electric vehicle gives it an edge in off-the-line acceleration, making it immensely fast in a straight line. The initial surge of power on offer in an EV is comparable to that of a supercar, sometimes more. As electric vehicle technology gets better, EVs themselves are getting faster. Several EVs can easily outdo a high-performance gasoline-powered vehicle. Here is a list of five electric cars from across the world that are quicker than a supercar.
