Yup, I think electric vehicles are starting to take over some performance vehicle segments.  The Tesla Model S in particular is an insanely fast car, it can hit 60 mph in 2.3 seconds and 100 mph in less than 10 seconds, and it has over 400 hp and a 700+ lb-ft of torque.

Yeah, electric vehicles can go from 0 to 60 in a matter of seconds, and they can go from 0 to 100 or 200 in a matter of seconds as well.

What is the fastest street legal car being sold in California?
user
If you want to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible, you’d want to get a sports car or a drag race vehicle.  Something like a Tesla Model S is very fast and can hit 200+ mph on the freeway.

Are electric cars faster than internal combustion now?
user
Electric vehicles are now comparable to internal combustion vehicles in terms of straight line speed, and even a little faster than some traditional gas powered vehicles.  However, some internal combustion vehicles are getting faster as well, like the Nissan GT-R, or Dodge Challenger.  Also some pure electric vehicles, like the Tesla Model S are now over 400 hp and get to 60 mph in under 3 seconds.

That is crazy! So much for the old hot rod, eh?
