Best electric performance cars of 2020

Going fast in an electric car is easy, as Tesla showed the world over the past decade.

3. Tesla Model S

2. Tesla Model 3 Performance

Even the basic Model 3 is a brisk accelerator, but by the time you splash out six figures on the Dual-Motor Performance things get positively fiery.
