Fastest Electric Cars (2026)

This is the top-speed cut of battery-electric cars, from the Yangwang U9 Xtreme and the Rimac Nevera through the Air Sapphire and Model S Plaid. Hybrids stay on the hybrid acceleration list. A claimed top speed is labeled claimed. The EV6 GT, Ioniq 5 N, Cybertruck and Model 3 Performance did not have one figure that three sources shared, so they are not added here.
