This sports car was introduced in the summer of 2013 as a limited edition, electric version of the combustion powered SLS AMG. In addition to having an acronym-heavy monicker, the SLS AMG Electric scored impressive marks at a time when electric vehicles weren’t as prevalent. Speaking of electric vehicles that are hard to come by, is the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive. The Rapide E is still out there in the world, like in Monaco where it once tore up the Formula E track: This EV never went on sale, but made the list because it was estimated to cost around $330,000. The British automaker planned to produce 155 Rapide E vehicles as a limited run, then nixed the whole project altogether.Īston Martin instead decided to use the Rapide E as a research project in developing future EVs, like its Lagonda electric SUV. The Rapide E was introduced as a concept in 2015, then unveiled in its production form four years later.

This makes it a worthy getaway car for James Bond in his next battle against the planet’s biggest nemesis “Carbonfoot.” Aston Martin’s Rapide E It can travel 0-60 mph in under four seconds and can reach a top speed of 155 mph. The Rapide E ditched the V12 engine for twin rear motors capable of generating 950 Nm (~750 ft-lb) of torque and 612 PS (~604 HP). This is a fully-electric version of the Rapide sports car that emerged in 2010. Next on our list of the most expensive electric vehicles is the Aston Martin Rapide E. Tesla’s new Roadster / Source: Tesla Aston Martin Rapide E Perhaps they should read further and pick a more expensive toy out. We can assume all have been spoken for, but with $50,000 down required and a wavering production timeline, there are 1,000 people out there with plenty of money to blow. In late December, Roadster pricing had been removed from Tesla’s website along with the ability to reserve on the Founder’s Editions. In terms of the Roadster redux, last we heard it was delayed to 2023 with a not so optimistic outlook on meeting that deadline, especially now that the Cybertruck is again delayed. Next, Musk announced another Roadster delay to 2022, so Tesla could focus on the Cybertruck… which has also now been delayed all the way to 2023. When it was unveiled in 2017, Musk said the Roadster would deliver in 2020… then 2021.

The Founders Series Tesla Roadster costs $250,000. It remains unclear what the extra $50k for the Founders Series will get consumers, but Tesla capped reservations at 1,000 total, making it a potential collector’s item… or debt collectors item. The past couple years, Tesla’s website has been taking reservations for the new Roadster as well as a variation called the Founders Series Roadster.


Musk even teased that these are the “base specs,” hinting at even better performance. To pay homage to this trailblazing EV, Tesla is (probably) releasing a second-generation Roadster with groundbreaking specs, which may include the unconfirmed potential to hover.Īccording to CEO Elon Musk, the Roadster redux will reach a 620-mile range, and will zoom from 0-60 mph in 1.9 seconds. It helped show that EVs could be carbon conscious and cool, helping pave the way for Tesla to become the absolute market juggernaut it is today. The Tesla Roadster was the original electric vehicle to debut for the American automaker. As if any of that really matters for this list. Prices also do not include any destination or other fees or state or federal tax credits. Note, some of these prices are estimated MSRPs with zero add-ons or customizations unless specifically noted to garner the most expensive version. No time for PHEVs when you get to this price tier, right? To help narrow down the candidates to the absolute, top tier, most expensive, we will only include fully-electric vehicles. We will start at the most affordable (ha!) and work our way down the list, toward the most expensive electric vehicle on the planet.
