World EV Day isn’t really about hashtags and tree hugging. It’s a flex day. A day for carmakers to remind you that electric cars aren’t just about range anxiety and charging apps, they’re about horsepower. Ridiculous, neck snapping, wallet emptying horsepower. From the humble 435 hp Porsche Taycan 4S to the unhinged 918 hp Lotus Eletre R, here’s the Indian EV lineup ranked by sheer electric muscle.

Porsche Taycan 4S (2025)

Power: 435 hp / 640 Nm

Price: ₹1.96 Cr

The “entry” Taycan is still more powerful than most petrol sedans. It’s a Porsche that hugs corners, drains wallets, and makes you forget this is supposed to be the sensible option.

Audi e-tron GT

Power: 469 hp / 630 Nm

Price: ₹1.72 Cr

Understated but lethal. With 469 hp, this four-door coupe feels like the EV Bruce Wayne would daily-drive — elegant, shadowy, and quick enough to keep Gotham safe.

BYD Seal Performance

Power: 523 hp / 670 Nm

Price: ₹53.15 Lakh

The disruptor. For under a crore, BYD gives you 523 hp and tech-heavy thrills. It’s fast, affordable (relatively), and proof that Chinese EVs aren’t just here — they’ve arrived in force.

MG Cyberster

Power: 503 hp / 725 Nm

Price: ₹75 Lakh

A two-door roadster with scissor doors and 503 hp for under a crore. The Cyberster looks like a concept car that accidentally slipped into production. MG isn’t just making an EV here, it’s selling nostalgia wrapped in red.

Lotus Eletre 600 Series

Power: 612 hp / 710 Nm

Price: ₹2.55 Cr

Lotus calls it a “hyper SUV,” which translates to 611 hp with back seats. It’s less about Chapman’s lightweight purity and more about bulldozing into the EV elite.

Porsche Macan Turbo Electric

Power: 630 hp / 1,130 Nm

Price: ₹1.22 – 1.69 Cr

Porsche’s bestseller goes electric and brings along 630 hp with a frankly absurd 1,130 Nm of torque. Everyday SUV? Sure. Everyday neck-snapping missile? Also yes.

Audi e-tron GT RS

Power: 637 hp / 830 Nm

Price: ₹1.95 Cr

Take the regular e-tron GT, give it a power binge, and you get the RS. At 637 hp, it’s Audi’s electric smackdown to Porsche. Subtle? Not remotely.

Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV

Power: 649 hp / 950 Nm

Price: ₹2.40 – 2.63 Cr

Normally, Maybach owners don’t care about numbers. But in case your chauffeur has a bad day, there’s 649 hp on tap to outdrag anything at the lights.

BMW i7 M70 xDrive

Power: 650 hp / 1,015 Nm

Price: ₹2.50 Cr

BMW’s electric flagship is a rolling tech palace with 650 hp hiding under its quilted luxury. A boardroom limo that can moonlight as a drag racer.

Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4Matic+

Power: 751 hp / 1,020 Nm

Price: ₹2.45 Cr

AMG’s first real EV flex: 751 hp, blistering torque, and spaceship styling. It’s Stuttgart’s answer to “are EVs fun?” Spoiler: yes, violently so.

Porsche Taycan Turbo

Power: 884 hp / 890 Nm

Price: ₹2.69 Cr

Turbo in name, battery in reality. But with 884 hp, who’s arguing? It’s the kind of car you buy to remind yourself — and everyone else — that you’ve made it.

Lotus Eletre 900 Series

Power: 918 hp / 985 Nm

Price: ₹ 2.99 Cr

918 hp. In an SUV. Lotus has gone from “simplify, then add lightness” to “complicate, then add steroids.” This isn’t a car; it’s a rolling power flex.
