With models like Porsche, Tesla, and other upcoming battery-pack-powered marques, buying an electric car doesn’t have to make significant compromises on performance or luxury. In fact, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more affordable as the market adapts, but some options are still astoundingly expensive.
Today, most Americans could only dream of owning a slightly over $100,000 electric car. However, as electric vehicles become more popular and mainstream, that price tag is becoming more attainable for the everyday consumer.
Here are four electric cars that cost over $100,000.
