first of all junk and clunkers dont apply to any of these cars
second aerodynamics is not the only goal you can go for pure aerodynamic design for an econo-box but with a high-proformance car you need enough downforce to push the car down and keep it on the road
third most people are not going to want to drive a car shaped like a tear-drop which though being the most aerodynamic shape does not a pretty car make and when your paying $200K or more you want it to look good also the tear drop shape doesnt not generate down force in fact it generates some lift

so though i agree that these are not truly aerodynamic being as thats not the main point i see no reason to insult the cars or the designers

All they would do is come up with a quick relaese for the batery and change them out as they go. I’m sure you could get it down to 30-60 seconds.

That Toyota Supra concept looks pretty bitchin. They should bring that to fruition for sure.

I don't see how you could miss the Tesla Roadster Sport. Not only is quick/fast, but its available for the average person to purchase and probably the most likely breakthrough for electric cars (in the U.S.). Even if these 6 are faster, why not make the list 7 cars, 6 is already such an arbitrary number.

Tesla was trying to plan a $60k car and $30k car within the next 5 years, but now that they had to close their big plant and scrap one in San Diego, who knows where that is going.

Great article. You missed the Fisker Karma and Fisker Karma S, as well as the UK's Lightning Electric car and the Tesla has already been mentioned.. I just completed an interview with Henrik Fisker about the Karma that should be up on our site within the next week or so -- fascinating guy.

Geez I wish folks would do their research. You obviously have a computer because you have made a website. Computers are also good for doing research. Try it sometime. First, learn the difference between fastest and quickest. 0-60 times=quick. Bonneville=fast.
Second, you can’t buy any of the cars you have shown here (Tesla not even mentioned), and… Third, they are not -even- the quickest nor fastest EVs. For fast try “Buckeye Bullet”.
For quick try KillaCycle (0-60 in -less than- one second), Current Eliminator, or White Zombie. If you were to -use the google- you would have discovered NEDRA. Go check it out- http://www.nedra.com Twelve years of sanctioned EV drag racing.
