The Tesla Model S Plaid is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.1 seconds thanks to its Dragster mode. It is currently the fastest 100% electric car in the world.
Numerama was able to try out the Model S Plaid for a weekend. And we did not miss the opportunity to chain the strong accelerations to test its 1,020 horsepower – distributed between three engines. In Dragster mode (which can’t be used everywhere, or anytime), Tesla’s sedan can reach 100 km/h in 2.1 seconds (Space Mountain only reaches 70 km/h in that time). time). It’s mind-blowing…and at the level of hypercars — overpriced performance-driven cars.
The Model S Plaid is not the only 100% electric car to offer dizzying acceleration as soon as you press the pedal. A 100% electric motor, unlike a thermal block, has the particularity of being able to offer all the torque – the traction power – from the first seconds. which perfectly sums up BMW : “ It is more precisely the immediate availability of the electric motor torque when the throttle is applied, or rather when the current is injected, which characterizes the electric motor efficiency.. With the maximum torque at start-up, a 100% electric car can therefore achieve lightning starts.
Here are the 10 fastest all-electric cars in the world

Honorable Mentions :
Note that we have decided to exclude 100% electric cars which will never be produced on a large scale. Thus, cars like the Aspark Owl (1.69 s), the Pininfarina Battista (1.86 s), the Rimac Nevera (1.97 s) or the NIO EP9 (2.7 s) are faster than the Tesla Model S Blanket. But none of these cars is a car that can be seen on the roads, sold at a price that is certainly expensive, but for the general public.
