Speed is exciting, but when it comes to everyday driving, business efficiency, and sustainability, does speed alone determine the best vehicle? The battle between electric vehicles (EVs) and gasoline-powered cars has been ongoing, but with advancements in technology, EVs are challenging the dominance of gas-powered cars more than ever.
For drivers and businesses in Singapore, the choice isn’t just about speed—it’s about efficiency, performance, and future-proofing. At EVFY, we provide electric vehicles that deliver more than just acceleration. Let's compare EVs and gas cars and see which is truly the better choice for the modern road.
EVs Dominate in Acceleration
If it’s about acceleration, EVs are the clear winners. Unlike internal combustion engines (ICE), electric motors deliver instant torque, meaning power is available the moment you step on the pedal.
No delay, no revving – Just instant acceleration.
Tesla Model S Plaid: 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds.
Bugatti Chiron (Gas): Takes 2.3-2.5 seconds.
EVs feel faster in city driving – No need for gear shifts, just seamless power.
Better control and handling – Electric vehicles distribute weight more evenly, improving grip and stability.
For city traffic, where quick take-offs matter more than high speeds, EVs make overtaking effortless and smooth.
Gas-Powered Cars Lead in Top Speed
While EVs dominate acceleration, gas-powered hypercars still claim the highest speeds.
Koenigsegg Jesko (Gas): Over 250 mph.
Bugatti Chiron Super Sport (Gas): 273 mph.
Rimac Nevera (EV): 258 mph, one of the fastest EVs.
Most standard EVs: Electronically limited to 200 mph or less.
Energy efficiency vs. raw speed: EV manufacturers focus on optimizing range over extreme top speeds.
Why? EV manufacturers prioritize battery efficiency and safety over extreme speed. However, as battery technology and cooling systems improve, this gap is closing fast.
EVs Offer Superior Efficiency and Cost Savings
Speed isn’t just about acceleration or top speed. Efficiency also matters.
EVs convert over 85% of energy into motion.
Gas cars waste energy as heat, making them only 30-40% efficient.
Singapore's EV-friendly infrastructure is expanding, making EV charging more convenient.
Reduced maintenance costs – Fewer moving parts mean fewer breakdowns and lower repair expenses.
Lower fuel costs – Electricity is significantly cheaper than petrol, leading to long-term savings.
EVs don’t just perform well; they maintain performance efficiently over time, saving energy and cost.
