Road & Track’s second annual Performance Electric Vehicle of the Year (PEVOTY) event brought together seven of the latest superzappers to determine which two have pushed amp-based driving furthest forward. That’s one winner with a five-figure price and one in six figures. Five came in under $100,000 and two over, with an entry each from Acura, BMW, Ford, Hyundai, Lucid, Porsche, and Tesla. The qualifying requirements here are straightforward. Each machine had to be substantially evolved compared with what was on sale in 2023, but not necessarily all-new. Each had to be a true battery-fed electric, available in the U.S. by the end of 2024, and explicitly positioned with driving enjoyment as a fundamental goal.
