Top 5 Fastest Electric Cars: 2015

A car’s speed is generally ranked by how fast it goes from 0 mph to 60 mph. In terms of speed, electric cars have many benefits and advantages over a gas powered vehicle. The thing is, an electrical vehicle has an instantaneous torque, which means that they have a nice burst of acceleration.

At first electric cars were perceived to be slow and not have much use accept barely making it to your local grocery store and back. But now, thanks to car companies like Tesla Motors, electric cars are becoming serious competition in the automobile industry and may one day remove the need for gas powered vehicles all together.

Thus, here is a list of the fastest electric cars as of November 2015. I hope you enjoy the list.
