Fastest Electric Cars in 2025

The quickest electric cars in NZ 🔥

April 30, 2025       32 min read
very fast ev

JUMP AHEAD

EVs are known for their instant torque and speed off the mark.

Acceleration speed is not just a vanity spec – it reveals more about the drivetrain than battery size or motor power output alone.

Batteries are heavy, so a larger battery requires more power to move the vehicle. Even if the car has high power output, its mass and aerodynamics may slow the vehicle down.

That’s where the 0-100 km/h rating comes in.

The quickest EVs under $100k

The quickest EVs over $100k

Some of the fastest EVs offer the same performance as a million-dollar supercar.

The fastest McLaren supercar is the 765LT Spider. It does 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, and costs $659,000 in New Zealand.

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale accelerates in 2.5 seconds and retails for $906,000 in NZ.

Every EV in New Zealand, the fastest to slowest

All EVs in NZ (including new, used, and upcoming vehicles) are ranked by acceleration.
