Fastest electric cars of 2022
While electric cars have always strived to be more environmentally friendly than their combustion counterparts, many modern EVs are now also way quicker than their fossil-fuel burning alternatives, too. This guide contains 10 of the fastest electric cars on sale today from a variety of segments.
1. Tesla Model 3
Battery range up to 374 miles
carwow price from
£562* / month
(£48,490)
The Model 3 is Tesla’s answer to those who found the Model S a tad too pricey. While it may still not qualify as a budget buy, the Model 3 is an extremely impressive vehicle. With class-leading range and in 450hp Performance trim, it’s quicker than just about any other car in its price range.
2. Porsche Taycan Turbo S
Battery range up to 273 miles
carwow price from
£960* / month
The Taycan is Porsche’s first purely electric model, and it has proven to be just as capable of delivering motoring enjoyment as its petrol-powered stablemates. Aside from its rock-solid build quality and impressive handling, the 761hp Taycan Turbo S is capable of embarrassing Ferraris and Lamborghinis off the line. And, unlike most EV’s which have a single gear, the Taycan’s two-speed gearbox allows it to blast all the way to 162mph.
3. Hyundai Ioniq 5
Battery range up to 315 miles
carwow price from
£473* / month
(£42,512)
The Ioniq 5 is not only a cool retro-styled EV, it can also deliver serious performance in its top 325hp all-wheel-drive trim. It may look like a family-friendly hatchback, but this tech-packed electric car can blast to 60mph quicker than some of the best performance saloons from only a few years ago.
4. Jaguar i-Pace
Battery range up to 298 miles
carwow price from
£770* / month
(£62,732)
It may have been around for a few years now, but the Jaguar I-Pace still looks as fresh as the day it was launched. It not only delivers strong performance from its 400hp electric powertrain, but it’s great in the bends, punching out of corners with the kind of instant thrust that is the trademark of EVs.
5. BMW i4 M50
Battery range up to 358 miles
carwow price from
£652* / month
(£56,185)
The 544hp i4 M50 is the very first electric car to wear the BMW M badge, and when it comes to blistering straight line acceleration it doesn’t disappoint. Featuring all-wheel-drive as standard, it rockets off the line with typical electric immediacy, with in-gear acceleration so strong that it will literally take your breath away. Even so it still trails the mighty petrol-powered M3, but the i4 M50 does cost significantly less.
6. Ford Mustang Mach-E GT
Battery range up to 379 miles
carwow price from
£617* / month
(£50,576)
Purists may complain that the Ford Mustang Mach-E is not a ‘real’ Mustang, but there’s no denying that this electric SUV delivers a sportscar-like performance. In fact, in 486hp GT guise it’s almost a second quicker than the 459hp 5.0-litre V8 Mustang to 60mph, and has mid range acceleration that will leave most petrol-powered sports cars standing.
7. Audi RS e-tron GT
Battery range up to 298 miles
carwow price from
£1,070* / month
(£83,167)
The Audi RS e-tron GT looks like a futuristic version of the already rather cool RS7, and in many ways it is. Its powerful electric motors push out 645hp, eclipsing the RS7’s 599hp and beating it to 60mph by a significant margin. Aside from the lower range (283 miles versus 400 miles), there really is no contest here.
8. Tesla Model S
Battery range up to 396 miles
The electric saloon that arguably started the EV revolution back in 2012 has now been thoroughly revised to take on alternatives like the impressive Porsche Taycan. With a staggering 1,020hp in the Plaid and a 0-60mph time of 1.99-seconds, it not only beats the Taycan in terms of acceleration but destroys just about every supercar on sale today. With a top speed of 200mph, it won’t be left behind on the Autobahn either.
9. Volvo C40 Recharge
Battery range up to 277 miles
carwow price from
£494* / month
(£46,100)
Volvo may be best known for making solid, safe and stylish family cars, but their latest EV offering is so much more than that. You can have the Volvo C40 Recharge with dual motors putting out 413hp to all four wheels, enough to catapult you from 0-60mph in just 4.7 seconds.
10. BMW iX M60
Battery range up to 380 miles
carwow price from
£785* / month
(£68,201)
If ever there was an unlikely candidate for a ‘fastest electric cars’ list, the large and luxurious BMW iX would be it. That is unless you are talking about the range-topping iX M60 version. This model produces 619hp from its electric motors to match the mighty 634hp BMW X5M Competition from 0-60mph. With a claimed range of 357 miles between charges, it may just be the ultimate family-sized supercar.
