Tesla is the name that always comes to mind when talking about electric cars. Although Tesla did not produce the world's first electric car, Tesla has the largest share of the world's electric car market today. Since 2008, Tesla has been able to create several car models, giving electric cars a futuristic look instead of a weird and strange look. Among them, Tesla Model S and Model 3 are unique. But today, the giants of the automobile world, Benz, Audi, and Ford, have introduced a series of supercars that can compete with Tesla cars. In this article, you can read about the latest electric cars developed and presented by these companies for 2021.

Due to this, this car can pass the mileage limit in less time than a Tesla Model S. The Tycon Turbo S takes 10.69 seconds to cover the mile while the Tesla takes 11.08 seconds.
The most important thing for electric cars is how far they can travel on a single charge. According to the Porsche company, the Taycan Turbo S can travel a distance of 450 km on a full charge. Its battery capacity is 84-kilowatt hours. Although the range of the Tesla Model S does not exceed 600 km, it must be said that 450 km is a significant value.
