15 Of The Best Luxury Electric Cars On The Market

Electric cars weren’t always part of the luxury conversation. Once viewed as niche, utilitarian machines, they lacked the prestige and polish that defined the segment. But that era is over. As technology grew more capable and expectations followed, electric cars stopped following and started leading the way. Instead of chasing tradition, they introduced something new—smooth acceleration and cabins that feel more like cozy sanctuaries than machines. Some brands focused on performance, while others emphasized comfort. But all of them helped reshape what luxury on wheels can look and feel like. So, how did EVs go from being the sensible option to the stylish one? These 15 models tell that story better than any spec sheet ever could.

At a test track outside California, the Lucid Air Sapphire did what few sedans dare—launching to 60 mph in under two seconds. With 1,234 hp, triple motors, and carbon-ceramic brakes, it’s built for control, not chaos. In a market chasing comfort and tech, this one adds velocity to the luxury equation without breaking composure.

Everything about the EQS flows—literally. This 2021 flagship includes an ultra-slick drag coefficient of 0.20, and this makes it one of the most aerodynamic cars ever built. Inside, over 100 miniature motors silently tailor your seat. Instead of showiness, the experience unfolds through detail and seamless motion that reshapes how quiet power feels.

Luxury unfolds differently when you're seated behind massaging seats and watching a 31-inch 8K screen drop from the roof. The i7 turns a daily drive into a curated experience. Its cabin blends theater and lounge—redefining what premium mobility can offer. Plus, with dual motors delivering over 500 hp, it moves with power as refined as its design.

While some EVs aim for silence, the Taycan adds sound through Porsche Electric Sport Sound, which mimics the mechanical energy of a traditional engine. This sensory feedback pairs with a low center of gravity, thanks to floor-mounted batteries. Introduced in 2019, it blends sports car dynamics with modern powertrains, showing that electrification doesn’t need to sacrifice engagement behind the wheel.

Rolls-Royce didn’t adapt to electric—it committed. Built from a clean slate, the 2023 Spectre uses a bespoke aluminum architecture and more than 141,000 digital control links. Dual motors provide seamless torque, while star-lit doors and near-silent interiors uphold the brand’s quiet legacy. Nothing here is rushed; every movement is intentional—even the electrons.

When speed becomes the headline, Tesla’s Model S Plaid writes it in bold. Released in 2021, it reaches 60 mph in just under two seconds using three motors and 1,020 horsepower. But there’s more than acceleration—its minimalist cabin strips away distractions in favor of sleek surfaces and a polarizing steering yoke, placing driver-focused functionality front and center.

This sedan borrows grace from its gasoline sibling but adds an extra layer of tech-savvy sophistication. Features like Face Connect and fingerprint recognition simplify access, while active noise cancellation enhances serenity. Behind the wheel, you’ll find a composed ride, ideal for those who want understated luxury without giving up modern electric performance.

Its performance doesn’t come at the expense of control. Audi’s torque vectoring system actively adjusts power delivery between wheels and enhances grip in corners or wet conditions. Add in rear-wheel steering and optional ceramic brakes, and you’ve got a luxury EV that feels sharp and ready for more than just smooth highways.

Maserati calls it Folgore, meaning lightning—and it lives up to the name. The GranTurismo Folgore retains classic Italian coupe styling but swaps the V8 for three electric motors. Together, they produce over 750 horsepower. The cabin mixes old-world leatherwork with high-tech textures, creating a grand tourer where tradition and electricity meet on equal footing.

Blending familiarity with future-ready performance, the BMW i5 joins the lineup as a modern executive choice. This one was released in 2024 and offers both eDrive40 and M60 trims, the latter producing 590 hp. Inside, curved displays and driver-assist technology take center stage. It may look understated, but under the surface, it’s all precision, just like you'd expect.
