The effort from Tesla has resulted in the new generation of electric cars with incredible power and aerodynamics that could even surpass most of the fuel-run peers. Tesla’s electric models also become the new benchmark for the market. After the success of Tesla, many other manufacturers also attempt to create their own EVs and ventures into this segment, leading to a busy market attracting both prominent automakers and newcomers. Now, besides Tesla, the customers are offered with a variety of options. Here is our pick for the 6 most potential cars to compete with Tesla.

1. Faraday Future FF 91

Expected Price: $180,000

Faraday Future enters the game back in 2015 with the FF91 prototype. The final product, the FF 91, could rocket from idle to 60mpl mark in breakneck 2.39 seconds. The FF 91 is powered by three separate engines that together could pull out 1,050bhp (783kW). The range of the FF91 could reach 378 miles, equal to 608 km. The output is significant for any vehicles, let alone an electric car.

The FF91 not only boasts a superior engine but also many top-notch and latest technologies. One key goodie that is expected to appear on the car is the Arrival Interface System which uses facial recognition for keyless entry function. The system will take on all the information from passengers’ expression and emotion to activate some smart function, for example, automatically adjust the audio system or the AC, and scent in accordance to passenger’s need. Additionally, there is another FFCTRL app developed to support the parking process.
