Presenting the World's Fastest Electric Vehicles

We're fans of all things cutting edge, and that most certainly includes the gadgets that 

get you from A to B. In the world of vehicles, the newest and freshest offerings are all 

electric.

New products from Tesla Motors, Elon Musk's Silicon Valley-based electric vehicle 

company, are always a hit. But Tesla's not the only company producing super speedy 

high-tech vehicles; in fact, cars are just the tip of the electric-vehicle iceberg.

Take, for example, the JR-Maglev MLX01, an experimental magnetic levitation train 

developed in Japan. It uses magnets to move and stay on track, and is capable of 

topping 360 mph. Meanwhile, France's Train a Grande Vitesse uses old-fashioned 

wheels, but also runs on electricity, and has traveled as fast as 357 mph. 

The spiffy looking Tesla Roadster Sport can hit 125 mph, but that doesn't even place it in 

the top two of fastest electric cars. A pair of electric motorcycles - the Lawless OCC 

Rocket Bike and Mission R - would also dust it in a drag race. The Roadster Sport, 

however, has them all beat on looks. 

 Here's a run down of the world's fastest electric vehicles.

 640 hp Eliica 8 wheel drive Li-ion powered Electric Vehicle 370 km/h

The Eliica (or the Electric Lithium-Ion Car) is a battery electric vehicle. The 5.1 m (17 ft) car runs on a lithium-ion battery and can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in four seconds (faster than the Porsche 911 Turbo at the time).
