Not very long ago supercar and electric were no words that just didn’t mix but since Tesla came along this has changed. The Shelby Aero Ev is another example of this, it is now the world’s fastest electric car.

The Aero Ev All-Electric Scalable Powertrain (AESP) is able to produce 1,000 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of torque that rips the Aero EV through 0 to 60 in just 2.5 seconds at a 208mph top speed. If you compare that to Tesla’s Roadster, 0-60 takes 3.9 seconds (or 3.7 for the 2009 sport model).

Better yet, the 150-220 mile battery can be refilled in just 10 minutes (Tesla takes 3.5 hours) from a 220V service thanks to what SSC calls its “Charge on the Run” onboard charging system…
