An electric car or electric vehicles (EV) is a mode of transport that is powered by electricity. Unlike conventional vehicles that use a gasoline or diesel-powered engine, electric cars and trucks use an electric motor powered by electricity from batteries or a fuel cell.

Experts had predicted that ONE MILLIONTH electric car will be on the road in February 2024. Heading into October 2023, there were nearly 900,000 electric vehicles (EVs) registered, and – based on current demand levels – it could mean we hit the one million mark within the next three months. 

the following cars had been rated by experts the most powerful electric cars with huge batteries:

1. Ram 1500 REV

Recently revealed ahead of a launch in 2025, the Ram 1500 REV – that’s Revolution Electric Vehicles to you – will be offered as standard with a hefty 168kWh battery. But if that’s something not enough, you’ll be able to select an optional 229kWh battery pack, which provably contains enough energy to power a small town for a few days. Or, when fitted in a massive pick-up, gives the 1500 REV a huge range of 500 miles. Although, as ever, you won’t get all that range if you use the 654bhp powertrain in anger.

2. GMC Hummer EV pickup – 212kWh

Stopping the scales at 4111kg, there’s not much about the GMC Hummer electric vehicles that’s small. Little wonder that it needs a big battery: its tri-motor powertrain will soon eat its way through energy, producing 1000bhp and 11,500lb ft of torque. Of note, the battery itself weighs a whopping 1325kg.

3. Tesla Roadster – 200kWh

We say this car is coming soon… but have to acknowledge that it has been coming soon since it was first teased in 2012. Since then, the rumor mill has been up and down, as well as stoked by Elon Musk saying the second-generation Roadster electric vehicles will launch in 2023. No sign yet, though.

4. Rivian R1T – 170kWh

What better way to break the stranglehold of established car makers than to launch a pick-up that offers (almost) more of everything. Peak performance includes 824bhp of power and 908lb ft of torque. No wonder it needs a big battery!

5. Nio ET7 – 140kWh

A sleek coupé in the Mould of the Tesla Model S, the ET7 heralds a new wave of expansion for Chinese car maker Nio. Unlike the pick-ups above, it’s relatively efficient in its use of the energy too – and consequently has a range rated at up to 438 miles.

6. Ford F-150 Lightning – 131kWh

The so-called Extended Range model lives up to its name thanks to its larger battery pack – albeit it is left in the shadow of rival’s pick-ups from Hummer and Rivian (which we’ll get to shortly). Despite the pick-up’s heft, the battery means it’s good for 320 miles of rated range.

7. Vinfast VF9 – 123kWh

Another electric vehicles sold with a variety of battery sizes, the biggest of which gives the car, co-developed by the Vietnamese manufacturer with famed Italian styling and technical experts – you guessed it – Pininfarina, a rated range of up to 369 miles.

8= Pininfarina Battista – 120kWh

Created by famed Italian styling and technical experts Automobile Pininfarina, the Battista is the company’s showpiece of what it is capable of. The drop-dead gorgeous sports car is named after the company’s founder, and holds acceleration records for 0-62mph and standing quarter and half miles. The machine is also based on technology developed by Rimac, hence the identical battery size.

9=. Rimac Nevera – 120kWh

A showpiece to show off what the company is capable of, the Nevera is the latest and greatest creation from Croatian electric vehicles. Pioneers Rimac, who not only do consultancy for almost every car maker, but who also now run Bugatti.

10. Lucid Air – 112kWh

1111bhp and 1025lb ft tell their own story about the striking Lucid Air’s performance capabilities – but unleashing all of that asphalt-eating performance would soon drain any normal battery. Less so on this big batteries top-end version.

11. Rolls-Royce Spectre – 110kWh

So far only driven in prototype form, the Spectre electric vehicles are a spiritual successor to the Phantom Coupe, albeit with a V12 replaced by electric motors, co-developed by BMW and good for 577bhp and 664lb ft, and an estimated wafting range of 320 miles.

12. Mercedes-Benz EQS – 108.4kWh

Following the theme of the Lotus, it’s debatable these days whether an ‘S’ badged saloon or SUV is the halo model – or, indeed, whether it is the petrol or electric version that sits atop the tree. Certainly, the EQS has plenty of qualities to set it apart – including, of course, its ginormous battery capacity.
