2024 U.S. Electric Cars Listed By 0-60 MPH Acceleration: Quickest To Slowest - Article

[Tooney]

The quickest all-electric model on the list is the 2024 Lucid Air Sapphire, which does 0-60 mph in 1.89 seconds. This tri-motor beast was able to achieve a slightly better result than the flagship Tesla Model S Plaid at 1.99 seconds (also a tri-motor EV.) Due to the rollout, in the real-world tests, users should get something around 2.0+ seconds.

There are several models that can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3.0 seconds, including the Tesla Model X Plaid, top-of-the-line Porsche Taycan (Turbo S and Turbo S Cross Turismo), as well as the Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast—the quickest electric pickup.

Note that this chart currently references the current 2023 Porsche Taycan. The EV gets significant upgrades for the 2025 model year, but full acceleration data is not available for all models yet. We will update this information as we get it.

Interestingly, roughly a fifth of all configurations can achieve 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds or less.

About half of all listed EVs can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds. The vast majority, over 80%, can do it in under 6.0 seconds. And only a relatively small number of configurations—less than 40 out of about 250—need between 6.0 and 9.0 seconds.

The EV democratizes acceleration. No longer limited to the top 2% of vehicles.

At some point, I expect legislation in this area. When the masses can go 0-60 in ~3 secs, I am going to go out on a limb here and predict negative outcomes for all involved.
