Porsche Taycan Turbo S<\/p><\/div>\n

Porsche has already built their fully electric supercar and it\u2019s called the Taycan.\u00a0 Currently, the quickest Taycan is the Taycan Turbo S, which boasts 560\u00a0kW of power, 1,050\u00a0N\u22c5m of torque, a 0-100 km\/h sprint time of just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 260 km\/h.\u00a0 We knew it would be fast, but it will also manage around 400 km of travel before a recharge is needed.\u00a0 Of course, that range will be affected by factors like the weather, number of hills in your commute, how heavy your right foot is, how many on-board features you\u2019re running and how much extra weight is on board \u2013 all much the same traits that affect combustion consumption\u2026<\/p>\n

Tesla is the biggest name in electric vehicles, and their new Roadster sets the supercar performance benchmark.\u00a0 Revealed back in 2017, the second-generation\u00a0Tesla Roadster\u00a0 will be capable of skipping through the 0-100 km\/h in around 2 seconds, the 0-160 km\/h dash in 4.2 seconds, the quarter mile in 8.8 seconds and boast a top speed of around 400 km\/h.\u00a0 These records are aided by a phenomenal 10,000 Nm combined torque output for the AWD system and a drivable range before recharging of even over 900 km.\u00a0 The new Tesla Roadster sales will likely begin 2022.<\/p>\n

Porsche and Tesla are, perhaps, the more well-known leaders in EV supercar technology.<\/p>\n

Ferrari has yet to build a fully electric car.\u00a0 Ferrari is concentrating on their hybrid supercars; the new Ferrari SF90 Stradale being the latest model that incorporates electric motors with the combustion engine layout.\u00a0 Ferrari claims the SF90 Stradale can clean out the 0-100 km\/h sprint in well under 3 seconds, the 0-200 km\/h dash in less than 7 seconds, while reaching a top speed in excess of 330 km\/h. \u00a0The SF90 Stradale can also travel 12-to-24 km on battery power alone.\u00a0 John Elkann, from Ferrari, says the company will offer its first electric supercar at some stage this decade, but the hybrid models would still form part of its line-up even in 2030. \u00a0However, that said, Ferrari is looking to sell the Ferrari Purosangue as their first SUV with hybrid engines, along with a fully-electric powertrain for the two following Purosangue models.\u00a0 From the word go, the Purosangue will be designed with the chassis structured to take full electric power.\u00a0 The first hybrid Purosangue should be on sale between 2024 and 2026.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t talk about Ferrari\u2019s electric future without considering Lamborghini\u2019s.\u00a0 Lamborghini has yet to develop an all-electric supercar.\u00a0 Come 2021\/2022, Lamborghini is offering a production hybrid supercar called the Lamborghini Sian FKP 37. \u00a0That sounds like a similar direction to Ferrari; however, Lamborghini did unveil the\u00a0Terzo Millennio concept car back in 2017.<\/p>\n

So, who else is offering fully electric supercars?\u00a0 The following EV supercars have been built up by various entrepreneurs and joint ventures and are, therefore, very rare.\u00a0 Here are some of them to whet your appetite:<\/p>\n
