Top 10 Electric Supercars that Have Shocked the Competition (Updated 2021 Lineup)




Unless we discover some sort adamantium alloy, pure internal combustion engines seem to have reached their peak of performance and isn’t likely to surpass 2000 horsepower. Electric cars on the other hand, are only scratching the surface of their potential, which has already allowed them to beat ICE counterparts in terms of outputs and acceleration. Since we’ve last covered EV supercars, the number of all-new models has exploded and their specifications reached beyond comprehensible heights. Today we dive into the lineup of pure megawatts!

Vega EVX: vega.lk

Announced back in 2015, the EVX from the Sri Lanka-based Vega took 5 long years to develop, and it was finally shown off in its pre-production form via a live stream at the time of the 2020 Geneva Motor show. The car got a revised powertrain, that now features 2 motors 402 horsepower each and a liquid cooled 55 kWh battery, good for 155 miles of range.

Rimac C_Two: rimac-automobili.com/en/hypercars/c_two

Unless Richard Hammond comes in and messes up the final testing stage, the Rimac C-Two hypercar will soon start rolling off the production lines in Croatia. 150 units will be assembled at the factory just 140 miles away from the hometown of Nikola Tesla and all of them are already sold out.

Drako GTE: drakomotors.com

Established in 2013, the California-native Drako has made its name with the GTE all-electric super sedan, that started production in 2020.

Hyperion XP-1: hyperion.inc

The need for supercars to be extremely fast and agile, dictates the use of smaller batteries, which eventually thwarts the range of these vehicles and rules out any grand touring potential. The hydrogen fuel-cell powered Hyperion XP-1 will resolve this issue.

Genovation GXE: genovationcars.com/

  1. There's no question that buyers want the quickest, coolest and most affordable vehicles that are easy to maintain. That's exactly why electric motor powered vehicles will put IC powered vehicles in their rearview camera monitor as they quickly surpass that inferior technology. As batteries get more and more power dense and different materials are used to produce cheeper lighter batteries the ICE doesn't look like it can compete with what battery power has to offer.

  2. There is no future for "supercars". When any well-made (Tesla) EV sedan can do 0-60 with neck-snapping acceleration, who really cares whether you can do it a little quicker? Furthermore, if the Tesla Roadster II actually ends up with jets on the back, I predict that will be the last supercar ever built. Where do you go from there? (and why?)
