Awesome Ev

It might be 50 years old, but this E-Type is anything but antique. This Series 1.5 roadster has been beautifully restomodded with a pure-electric drivetrain that cranks out nearly 300 hp, launching it from 0-to-62 mph in 5.5s – about a second quicker than its original V6 gas engine.

The frog has become a prince with Nissan’s redesigned electric car. Its sleek new design speaks for itself, and it packs 38% more power (147 hp), 26% more torque (236 lb-ft.), and 40% more range (150mi) than the 2017 model. A longer-range edition will come in 2019.

Offering up to 555 hp, 32″ wheels, 20″ of suspension travel, and 14.5″ of ground clearance, this all-electric open-air 4×4 is ready to be the Tesla of UTVs. It does 0-to-60 in 3.9s, its motor and gearbox are waterproof, and it can go up to 200 miles on a charge.

Bollinger Motors‘ first production vehicle is a beast of a machine – an off-road capable electric SUV. Its ground clearance is adjustable from 10″ to 20″, it can ford up to 3.3 ft of water for 30 min, has great cargo capacity, and converts from a full cab to a half cab.

If your brain can tune out the alarm played to keep spectators safe, you’ll definitely want to check out Faraday Future’s exhibition run up Pikes Peak, as their 1050 hp electric car warp drives to the top, besting Tesla’s production EV record by more than 20 seconds.

Fisker’s curvaceous electric performance sedan wants to take on the Tesla Model S, with a 400+ mile driving range, quick charging, all-wheel drive, autonomous driving tech, and luxury inside and out. We don’t have performance specs yet, but we bet it’ll be quick off the line.

Jaguar’s upcoming all-electric crossover, the I-PACE Concept was recently set loose on the streets of London, tooling around the Olympic Park area in a sexy fire-engine red paint. The 400 hp, 220 mile range, AWD EV will go into production in 2018.

While we’re not big fans of its awkward styling, we have to hand it to the guys at Faraday Future for going balls-out against Tesla by building a 1050 hp family car that can go 0-to-60 in just 2.39 seconds, with a 378-mile driving range, and an array of autonomous driving features.

Tim from Shmee150 takes us up close and personal with this 1341hp electric track beast, capable of driving at speeds up to 194 mph, goes 0-to-124 mph in 7.1s, and is now in possession of the Nürburgring EV lap record with a time of just 7:05.12.

Chevy’s compact EV offers an impressive range of 238 miles, a 0-to-60 time under 7 seconds, and sporty, modern looks. It’s packed with tech like a 10.2″ touchscreen, an electronic rear-view mirror, surround-view cameras, and quick charge ability to get you 90 miles in 30 minutes.

First shown off as a concept at the Geneva Auto Show, Italian design house Pininfarina plans on producing 10 of its eco-conscious race car. It’s powered by a GreenGT hydrogen fuel cell that drives two rear-wheel motors to produce ~500hp. The price tag? Around $2.5 million each.

An all-electric track day car, the Swiss-made eRod packs a 200hp equivalent electric motor and 258 lb-ft. of torque, while weighing in at just 1433 lb. When equipped with the available 39 kWh battery pack, range is 136 mi. We’d love to see these come stateside.

Automotive innovators Local Motors latest creation is an autonomous 12-passenger electric bus that’s designed to offer door-to-door rides, smartphone-based ride hailing and payment, and remote monitoring from a control center. Initial prototypes start road tests in DC soon.

BMW didn’t change the outside of the new i3, but it’s what’s underneath that counts. That means more battery capacity, and an electric driving range of 114mi combined city/highway without affecting performance. The optional gas range extender also gets a bigger fuel tank.

The most fun you can have on three wheels will soon have instant torque. The EV3 Concept has an oil-cooled 46kW (~62hp) electric motor that can propel its carbon fiber-on-wood chassis to over 90mph. The production version will be available Q4 2016.

French automaker Peugeot’s Fractal concept roadster packs a 204hp all-wheel drive electric drivetrain, height-adjustable suspension, and an interior loaded with audio gear that envelops passengers with sound. We’re especially enamored of the exposed carbon fiber.

Despite its tremendous torque, it’s not exactly easy to make a Tesla Model S go sideways, Japanese pro drifter Nobuteru Taniguchi proves that it’s at least sort of possible as he burns rubber in the electric executive sedan.

NASA’s impressive new electric rover vehicle can deftly maneuver into the tightest of spaces, thanks to independent four-wheel 180º steering. It can also be remotely operated. We want one of these just to drive around town now.

Mitch Medford started with a ’68 Ford Mustang and completely reworked its drivetrain into a pure electric sports car. To prove that EVs can truly impress, this modern remake of the muscle car is way faster than its gas-powered brethren.

Building on the best looking mid-size American car in years, this eco-smart variant gets up to 43MPG combined in hybrid mode, and the option to drive up to 21 miles in pure electric mode. Read our in-depth review on 95Octane.
