Yahoo Autos A slew of fancy electric vehicles are coming soon — here are 7 of the coolest, from a $400,000 Rolls-Royce to a 200-mph Lucid
All sorts of new electric cars are on the way from startups and established brands.
2023 will see a flood of luxury options from brands like Lexus, Lucid Motors, and Rolls-Royce.
These expensive EVs offer lots of range, opulent features, and incredible performance.
Car companies are doubling down on electric vehicles. That means buyers can expect dozens more models of all kinds in the near future.
While 2023 will bring some new mainstream options, it'll also bring a whole host of exciting — and expensive — battery-powered rides.
Rolls-Royce, the pinnacle of automotive opulence, plans to roll out its very first EV.
The two-door Spectre will cost around $400,000
It has the stately presence of other Rolls-Royces, but adds slim LED lights and a new, aerodynamic Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament that reduces drag.

And it has the elegant interior you'd expect from a car that costs deep six figures.
It'll offer the option to add thousands of little stars to both the headliner and doors.
The Spectre will have a so-so range of around 260 miles, the company says. But that shouldn't matter much, as most people aren't road tripping in their Rolls-Royces.
But Rolls-Royce won't have ultra-wealthy buyers all to itself. Cadillac is readying a $300,000 EV of its own.
Caddy will start hand-building the Celestiq to customer specifications toward the end of 2023.

Its interior is packed with five screens, including a 55-inch display spanning the dashboard and a slanted "command center" for the climate settings.
When it comes to performance, the ultra-luxe EV boasts around 300 miles of range, 600 horsepower, and 640 pound-feet of torque.
It'll hit 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, Cadillac says.
EV startup Lucid Motors will soon unleash its most expensive and quickest car to date: the Air Sapphire.
It's an extra-high-performance take on the company's already bonkers Air sedan.
The Air Sapphire will have three motors (as compared to the current model's two) and will churn out an estimated 1,200 horsepower.
Lucid says that makes the car the most powerful sedan in the world.
