The Rimac Nevera becomes the world's fastest electric vehicle

With a Top Speed of 256 MPH, the Rimac Nevera is Officially the World’s Fastest Production EV.

The Croatian brand which was already the world’s fastest-accelerating car is now officially the fastest production EV as well. The battery-powered hypercar earned its latest award after hitting a top speed of 256 mph on a recent run in Germany. Rimac’s $2.4 million hypercar is delivered with an electronically limited top speed of 219 mph, but owners will get their chance to push the EV to the max at special events with the support automaker due to the stress such high speeds take on the car’s tires. Rimac’s closest competition however in the EV speed race is the Lucid Air which was able to reach top speed of 235.4 mph in 2017 and Tesla Roadster which is promising speeds of around 250 mph. The company founded by Mate Rimac back in 2009 and recently merged with Bugatti. The Rimac Group is now valued at over €2 billion after the latest investment round to support it continued innovation and is now fast becoming a Tier 1 through its subsidiary Rimac Technology.
