The Most Expensive EVs In The World

                                                    Lucid Air Sapphire

$250,500

Pitched as a rival to the Tesla Model S, the Air Sapphire is the American brand’s most powerful model to date, featuring a 920kW (1234hp) powertrain and capable of a 0-100km/h (0-62mph) time of just 1.89sec. Impressively, the ultra-quick Sapphire can still manage up to 687km (427 miles) on a charge, despite its fearsome performance. That’s the best range of this list.

The Sapphire’s incredible performance is achieved by the firm adding an additional motor to the rear axle, which helps it take on rivals from Tesla and Mercedes. It can also do a claimed 320km/h (200mph).


$440,000 / £330,000 / 380,000 euros

The fabled British marque revealed its first electric model last year, with the smooth and silent Spectre arriving with an all-wheel-drive 430kW (577hp) setup. Refined, smooth and delivering a supple ride at high speeds, the Spectre has a range of up to 529km (329 miles) and can be charged at up to 150kW.

Offering the ultimate luxury motoring experience, the Rolls-Royce is priced at £330,000, but with the endless customisation offered by the Goodwood-based brand, you’ll likely pay close to £500,000 for one after you’ve chosen all the options you’d like.


$1.25 million

Described by Drako as “the most powerful GT car” ever made, the GTE is a quad-motor, 895kW (1200hp) electric car that can reach a top speed of 332km/h (206mph) – and it can do that carrying four passengers. Power is drawn from a 90kWh battery, which sits low down in the GTE’s chassis for a low centre of gravity.

The American firm’s electric saloon gets all the latest technology, such as torque vectoring, which the brand claims can adjust the power of each wheel up to 1000 times per second. Limited to just 25 examples, the ultra-rare GTE costs £1 million ($1.25 million).


$1.65 million / 1.5 million euros

Most of the cars on this list feature a striking exterior design, but the Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulonge has arguably the most outlandish of the lot with its smooth lines and large front grille. Being the most exclusive model in the Carmen range, it comes with a price to match.

The Boulogne is powered by a 830kW (1114hp) electric motor and develops a searing 1150Nm (848 lb ft), allowing it to sprint from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in less than 2.6sec. The battery is T-shaped and acts as a Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) which provides stability and reduces structural vibrations. Range is up to 400km (250 miles).


$2.0 million

The most powerful car in our lists is the Deus Vayanne, a striking electric sports car that boasts a power output of 1673kW (2243hp) and develops 2000Nm (1475 lb ft) of torque – now that is mind-boggling. That means it can do 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in as little as 1.99sec.

And because only 99 units will be made, the Vayanne commands a hefty price tag of $2 million.



$2.5 million / £2 million / 2.5 million euros

Named after one of the mode influential automotive designers, the Battista is an outlandish and eye-catching electric hypercar which develops a whopping 1400kW (1874hp). This means it can do 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in a blisteringly quick time of just 1.86sec, making it one of the fastest electric cars on sale today.

Intriguingly, the Battista sits on the same electric platform as the pricier Rimac Nevera, but is almost identical in terms of performance. Where the Battista differs is in its design, with the hypercar featuring a sleek and low-slung aesthetic for optimal aerodynamic efficiency.




$3.1 million / £2.4 million

The Nevera had quite the start to its production life; not only did it set 20 – yes, 20 – new acceleration records, but it also became the fastest electric production car to lap the Nurburgring with a time of 7min 5sec – so you’re getting quite a lot for the money.

Packing 1408kW (1888hp) and developing a staggering 2360Nm (1741 lb ft) of torque, the mighty Nevera takes just 1.81sec to hit 100km/h (62mph), and 9.2sec to reach 300km/h (186mph). And to ensure that there is plenty of energy for quick jaunts, the Nevera is fitted with a huge H-shaped 120kWh battery.


$3.2 million / £2.5 million / 2.9 million euros

Claimed to be the fastest accelerating car in the world, the quad-motor Aspark Owl can sprint from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in just 1.72sec. Such an outrageous time is achieved thanks to a motor on each wheel and 1480kW (1985bhp) – and as you would expect, that level of performance doesn’t come cheap, with the Owl costing a cool £2.5 million ($3.2 million).

And being the fastest accelerating EV is just one of Aspark's party pieces. It also has one of the highest top speeds of any electric car at 415km/h (258mph). Beyond its insane performance, the Owl can still do up to 450km (280 miles) on a charge. 



$4.8 million / 4.4 million euros

Automobili Pininfarina revealed a stunning electric barchetta, based on the underpinnings of the eye-catching, 1400kW (1876hp) Pininfarinha Battista coupรฉ, at the 2023 Monterey Car Week.

With four permanent-magnet synchronous motors, it sends power through all four wheels, with torque-vectoring to improve agility and stability as required. 

It has the same basic specification as the Battista, but looks the part and will be limited to just 10 units
