When it comes to electric vehicles (EVs), potential range degradation over time and use has haunted owners for what seems like an eternity. However, as battery technology improves, and so does EV longevity, these fears can slowly be phased out. For instance, the YouTube channel AutoTrader has been documenting a Tesla Model S from 2016 with over 430,000 miles on the clock from to its eight years of service as an airport taxi. Surprisingly, the car has been able to pull this off without requiring a battery or motor replacement of any kind.

For electric vehicles, the efficiency and practical benefits that come with them are what attract most buyers to the segment. However, saving money isn't the only major improvement that EVs have over gas-powered vehicles; they also have the potential to unlock performance on a scale that we've rarely ever seen in production cars.

Top 10 Mainstream Electric SUVs With The Fastest 0-60 MPH Times

Looking through sports cars in the current era, it is hard to ignore what electric vehicles have to offer. If you have been looking at the classic Mustang to satisfy your speed needs, there are a few EV options that we consider to be a better purchase. When it comes to raw, unadulterated power, the Ford Mustang Dark Horse is still a beast. Packing a staggering 500 horsepower and 418 pound-feet of torque, the pony car rows through a six-speed manual transmission and rockets from 0-60 MPH in just 4.1 seconds, with a top speed of 166 MPH. All this performance starts at a price of $64,630.

WHEN the low-battery warning flashed across the gauge cluster in my car, I immediately turned to Google Maps to find the nearest charging station. I was in the Mazda CX-90 Plug-in Hybrid.

Despite a parade of electric vehicles that can travel more than 300 miles on a charge, range anxiety remains a major hurdle to widespread adoption particularly in the US. There is, however, a “no-duh” antidote to allay fears of being stranded mid-trip: put a charger on the car. While traditional hybrid vehicles use gas to turn the wheels, a new crop of cars are burning it exclusively to charge a large onboard battery. It’s a strategy one might expect from an 8-year-old’s brainstorm, and it’s not a particularly efficient solution or a cheap one. But in an age of janky charging infrastructure and fraught, polarizing politics, electric motors juiced by an onboard, gas-sipping generator could be a killer EV app.
