The 5 most luxurious electric cars on the market that will make you want to go without gas
As demand for gas-powered vehicles declines and consumers want to drive clean machines, automakers are offering deals to suit all budgets, including cars for the very, very rich.
Premium brands such as Porsche and Mercedes have designed new electric models with more electrification and some fancy features that completely reimagine road travel in the 21st century.
Whether you're looking for a clean machine over $100,000 or curious about what the 1% are driving these days, here's a look at some of the most luxurious cars on the market.
2023 Hummer EV3X SUVPrice: $106,645
An eco-friendly Hummer may seem like an oxymoron, given that the Hummer has been targeted by environmental activists for what they perceived to be its gas-guzzling decadence. But kudos to GMC for reinventing an emissions-free version of the mega-machine.
The 18-foot SUV is still a massive military-inspired beast with 1,000 horsepower, 11,500 lb-ft of torque and 35-inch tires. But it uses three electric motors with an estimated range of 329 miles before recharging.

Other wild features include something called UntraVision which gives the driver 17 camera views, including forward and rear facing waterproof underbody cameras.
Lucid Air Dream EditionPrice: $169,000
The 2023 Lucid Air luxury sedan has a giant battery, giving it an extraordinary range of 516 miles. That's the longest range of any electric vehicle on the road, according to Car and Driver.
Elon can't be happy.
The Lucid is also powerful. It accelerates to 100 km/h in less than 2 seconds.
Lucid describes its interior cabin as a “mansion,” with first-class spacious legroom and massaging seats.
The sedan also has huge storage space with two trunks (one of which is two-level) that are four times larger than the others.

Porche sports cars are known for their speed and handling, and the electric version of their car does not disappoint. The Turbo S is powered by an 800-volt battery and a 750hp motor that accelerates to 60mph in just 2.4 seconds. According to MotorTrend, the car "shoots up to 200 km/h in the blink of an eye, and it's very happy once it's there."
But speed isn't the Turbo S's only asset. The "cockpit" is also something to behold.
The GT multifunction sports steering wheel puts all the car's functions at your fingertips and offers excellent grip and handling, and the seats are comfortable and spacious.
The Alexis-like Voice Pilot, which uses the command "Hey Porsche", responds to statements such as "I'm cold". You can also use a combination of touch and voice commands to get what you want. For example, you can hover over the map and say, "Start Navigation".
Tesla Model X BlanketStarting price: $138,990
Tesla is the OG of premium electric vehicles, so it's no surprise that the manufacturer's most expensive offering, the Model X, comes with all the bells and whistles people have come to expect from Tesla.
The six-seat SUV features a 1,020 horsepower tri-motor electric powertrain that goes from 0-60 in just 2.5 seconds. It travels 333 miles per charge.
But it's the inside that is...
