Not necessarily but if you want to go from zero to 60 mph as fast as possible, then an electric car will beat a normal gasoline operated car. Compared with a gasoline car of the same horsepower, the electric car uses more of its horsepower. An EV is the most efficient kind of car. It has fewer moving parts, so it runs more efficiently. Although electric cars are more expensive to purchase than traditional gas-powered vehicles, they don’t have to cost as much to replace their batteries, which means you can save money on fuel and maintenance. However, gas-powered cars can still rich higher top speeds.
