What are the most expensive electric cars in 2023? If money was no object these are the 10 cars you’d want to buy.
While EVs and PHEVs are becoming more and more affordable, some models are pushing the limits of speed and price. Let’s take a look at the 10 most expensive EVs.
10. Rolls-Royce Spectre ($413k)
The Rolls-Royce Spectre delivers 577 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque from dual electric motors, and can make a run from 0-60 mph (97 kph) in 4.4 seconds.
While the Rolls-Royce Spectre can be picked up from as “little” as $414k, that price is set to soar for individual buyers as a result of the Rolls-Royce Bespoke program and the limitless expensive options that can be added to builds.
9. Drako GTE ($1.2m)
The Drako GTE is produced by California-based luxury sports car manufacturer Drako Motors. Released in 2020 the GTE sports sedan is a four-seater and its production is limited to only 25 vehicles. It’s driven by quad-electric motors, produces 1,200 horsepower, can reach 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds, and has a top speed of 206 mph (331 kph).
8. NIO EP9 ($1.39m)
The NIO EP9 was built in collaboration with NIO’s Formula E racing division and can accelerate from 0-100 kmh (62 mph) in 2.7 seconds, and from a standstill to 300 km/h (186 mph) in 15.9 seconds. One of the most expensive EVs in the world, the EP9 is powered by quad-electric motors, produces 1,341 horsepower and starts from $1.39 million. The NIO EP9 also set the Nurburgring record in 2017 for an electric vehicle with a time of 06:45:90.
7. Hispano-Suiza Carmen Boulogne ($1.92m)
One of the most expensive EVs today is mdae by Spanish manufacturer Hispano-Suiza. The company produced 19 units of the Carmen between 2019 and 2021 but it’s the planned Carmen Boulogne that will set you back almost $2 million.
Built in collaboration with Formula E engineers, the Carmen Boulogne has 1,110 horsepower, 1,180 pound-feet of torque, reaches 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds, and can reach a limited top speed of 180 mph (290 kph).
6. Deus Vayanne ($2m)
Austrian manufacturer DEUS has designed one of the most expensive electric cars with the Deus Vayanne. The Vayanne is an Austrian-Italian-British collaboration and will be limited to 99 vehicles. Production is set to commence in 2025 and there are some serious claimed specs.
The Vayanne will push 2,243 horsepower with 1,475 pound-feet of torque, and a claimed top speed of 248 mph (400 kph). A 0-60 mph time of under two seconds will challenge for one of the quickest electric vehicles money can buy.
5. Rimac Nevera ($2.2m)
With a starting price of $2.2 million the Rimac Nevera is one of the most expensive electric cars in the world with a combined power output of 1,888 horsepower and 1,741 pound-feet of torque. Only 150 examples of the Croatian-made Nevera will be made and they’re powered by four liquid-cooled electric motors.
The Nevera has set the benchmark for electric hypercar production and set a then-record 0-60 mph time of 1.74 seconds in 2023. It can reach a top speed of 258 mph (412 kph), and can reach 0-249 mph (400 kph) in 29.93 seconds. In August 2023 it also set a record for the fastest production electric vehicle at the Nürburgring in 7:05.298 minutes.
4. Pininfarina Battista ($2.2m)
The Italian-German Pininfarina Battista shares underpinnings with the Rimac Nevera and both utilize the same 125-kWh battery and quad-electric motors on each wheel. The Battista can top out at 1,900 horsepower and 1,725 pound-feet of torque.
Limited to only 150 units, the Battista can reach 0-60 mph in 1.79 seconds, a record that has since been broken. It also set the record for fastest braking electric vehicle, able to stop from 62 mph (100 kph) to a complete stop in 101.7 feet (31 meters).
3. Lotus Evija ($2.3m)
Majority owned by one of the biggest electric car companies Geely, Lotus has produced one of the most powerful and most expensive electric cars in the world. The Sino-British Lotus Evija electric hypercar sticks true to the Lotus DNA weighing just 3700 pounds (1,680kg), the lightest EV hypercar in production.
The Lotus Evija is production limited to only 130 examples and is already sold out. Estimated at $2.3 million for the base model it’s expected that most examples will cost much more. The Evija delivers 1,971 horsepower and 1,257 pound-feet of torque via four motors. From 124 mph the Evija takes half the time to reach 186 mph compared to the Bugatti Chiron.
2. Aspark Owl ($4.2m)
The Japanese developed Aspark Owl is built in Italy and at $4.2 million is one of the most expensive electric cars in the world. With almost twice the power of a Formula 1 car, the Aspark Owl can reach a top speed of 257 mph (413 kph). Japan’s first fully-electric hypercar will be limited to only 50 examples.
Powered by four electric motors with a 64kWh lithium-ion battery pack, it produces 1,985 horsepower, 1,475 pound-feet of torque, and clocked a world record 1.72 second 0-60 mph time.
1. Pininfarina B95 ($4.71m)
The Pininfarina B95 is the most expensive electric car and is set to cost €4.4 million, or $4.71 million each. Only 10 B95’s will be built in 2025 and each will have an almost limitless amount of customization options.

There are no windows or roofs on the B95 and it can achieve a top speed of 186 mph (300 kph). Propelled by a 120.0-kWh lithium-ion battery pack the B95 is also expected to match the 0-60mph time of 1.79-second that the Battista set.
About WattsCracking.com
WattsCracking.com is an electric vehicle blog that continues to grow in parallel to the EV industry as a whole. The blog provides relevant, comprehensive and engaging topics covering all things EV. After 17 years of driving internal combustion engine cars I took the plunge and bought an EV. With the first push of the pedal and pullback of regenerative braking on my brand new 2022 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor I was hooked. The spark for WattsCracking.com was born.
