Electric cars are having their moment in the sun — quite literally, when it comes to convertibles. Imagine cruising along the coast, the wind in your hair, the hum of the ocean harmonizing with the barely-there whirr of an electric motor. Electric convertibles promise open-air driving with a fresh perspective. They combine the eco-friendly buzz of EVs with the timeless joy of drop-top freedom. From city slickers to high-performance machines, these 24 electric convertibles are here to redefine what it means to drive with the top down.
Tesla Roadster (2nd Generation)
The Tesla Roadster (2nd Generation), unveiled in 2017, is an all-electric supercar poised to redefine performance benchmarks. Its striking design includes a removable glass roof and aerodynamic lines, emphasizing speed and style. Under the hood (or floor), it packs a tri-motor setup delivering a jaw-dropping 10,000 Nm of wheel torque, enabling a claimed 0-60 mph time of 1.9 seconds—making it one of the fastest production cars in history.
Mini Cooper SE Convertible
Mini has a knack for packing big fun into small packages, and the SE Convertible is no exception. Based on the iconic Mini design, it combines open-top driving with eco-conscious motoring. It’s powered by a 32.6 kWh lithium-ion battery, delivering a range of up to 201 km (125 miles) (WLTP). Also, the electric motor generates 184 hp (135 kW) and 270 Nm of torque, enabling a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) sprint in 8.2 seconds.
Fiat 500e Cabrio
The Fiat 500e Cabrio is as Italian as a Vespa and chic as a Milan runway. Inside, it boasts a modern infotainment system with a 10.25-inch touchscreen supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Sustainability is a highlight, with eco-friendly materials like recycled plastics in the cabin. The Cabrio features a retractable fabric roof, providing an open-air experience reminiscent of classic European city cars. Stylish and practical, the 500e Cabrio combines nostalgia with cutting-edge tech for a greener future.
MG Cyberster
This futuristic roadster from MG is all about bold statements. Revealed at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, the Cyberster features a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette with a long bonnet, short overhangs, and a cabin-forward stance reminiscent of classic roadsters like the MG B. Distinctive scissor doors and a minimalist LED lighting setup enhance its futuristic appeal. And, boasting a range of up to 500 miles and a 0-60 mph sprint under 3 seconds, it’s a cocktail of performance and showmanship. Polestar O2
Polestar’s O2 concept redefines minimalist luxury with its clean lines and tech-laden interior. Inside, the cabin showcases Polestar’s commitment to sustainability, utilizing recycled polyester for all soft components. Also, one standout feature is the built-in autonomous drone, capable of recording driving moments at speeds up to 56 mph. While the Polestar O2 remains a concept, it hints at the brand’s bold future in EV innovation, blending luxury, technology, and environmental consciousness.
BMW i8 Roadster (Electric Concept)
While technically a plug-in hybrid, BMW’s plans to electrify the i8 Roadster fully deserve a mention. A product of BMW’s Vision Efficient Dynamics philosophy, it combines electric mobility with high-performance aesthetics. The Roadster’s carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) body ensures lightweight durability, enhancing efficiency and agility. Distinct butterfly doors add flair, while the open-top design elevates the driving experience. Expect stellar handling, cutting-edge tech, and enough electric range to zip in style.
Audi Skysphere Concept
The Audi Skysphere isn’t just a convertible; it’s a shape-shifter. Powered by a rear-mounted electric motor producing 624 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque, the Skysphere accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just four seconds. Its 80-kWh battery promises a range of over 500 kilometers (WLTP). The interior also embodies minimalist luxury, with sustainable materials and advanced digital interfaces, including a massive display for autonomous mode. With its futuristic aesthetics, innovative engineering, and emphasis on sustainable luxury, the Skysphere Concept redefines the boundaries of what a car can be.
Rimac Nevera Convertible (Concept)
Rimac’s Nevera is already a hypercar icon, but whispers of a convertible variant have enthusiasts drooling. Based on the existing Nevera, which boasts a jaw-dropping 1,914 horsepower and a 0-60 mph of just 1.85 seconds, the convertible version could combine unparalleled performance with open-air driving thrills. Also, retaining its advanced quad-motor setup and 120 kWh battery might deliver the same 340-mile range (WLTP cycle). Add an open roof, and it’s a thunderstorm of excitement.
Chevrolet Corvette Electric Convertible (Rumored)
The Corvette is an American icon, and Chevrolet’s rumored electric convertible version could shake up the segment. Chevrolet is developing a fully electric Corvette, which is anticipated for the 2025 model year. This EV is expected to offer a powerful three- or four-motor setup, potentially delivering around 1,000 horsepower with standard all-wheel drive. While specific details about a convertible variant remain unconfirmed, the possibility of an electric Corvette convertible aligns with Chevrolet’s commitment to expanding its electric vehicle lineup.
Lotus Evija Roadster
Lotus’ first electric hypercar, the Evija, is rumored to be getting a convertible sibling. The car’s lightweight carbon fiber structure enhances performance, with a focus on aerodynamics and efficiency. A battery pack of 70 kWh ensures a range of around 200 miles on a single charge, perfect for both high-speed thrills and long drives. The Roadster’s open-top design offers a raw, immersive driving experience, and its exclusivity is underscored by a production limit of just 130 units globally. And, with a price tag north of $2 million, the Evija Roadster is a collector’s dream.
Porsche 718 Boxster EV
Porsche’s electrified take on its beloved Boxster promises the perfect blend of heritage and innovation. Expect sleek, aerodynamic enhancements that reduce drag, with the signature Porsche curves softened by a modern, futuristic touch. It will likely share elements with the Taycan, including a low, wide stance, flush door handles, and a sculpted rear, though the 718’s two-seat convertible layout will be retained. Plus, the range is expected to be competitive, offering over 250 miles on a single charge, with fast-charging capabilities.
Volkswagen ID. Buggy
The ID. Buggy brings dune bashing into the 21st century. Its 204-horsepower motor powers the rear wheels, enabling a 0-60 mph time of just 7.2 seconds. With a lightweight design (under 1,000 kg), the ID. Buggy is engineered for adventure, boasting rugged suspension and the ability to tackle sandy dunes and rough terrain quickly. Also, its minimalistic design includes a removable roof, customizable features, and a futuristic, open-air cockpit. In short, this all-electric, open-air concept is rugged, fun, and unapologetically retro.
Smart EQ Fortwo Cabrio
The Smart EQ Fortwo Cabrio is a pint-sized solution for those who prioritize maneuverability over muscle. Powered by a 17.6 kWh battery, the Cabrio has a modest range of about 80–100 miles on a full charge, making it perfect for short trips and city commutes. The electric motor also delivers 82 horsepower, allowing the Cabrio to reach a top speed of 81 mph. Plus, its 0-60 mph time is roughly 11.5 seconds, which is not fast but certainly zippy in urban settings. Bonus: It’s so small you could practically park it in your living room.
Ford Mustang Mach-E Convertible (Speculation)
Ford’s Mustang Mach-E is already a hit, but imagine it as a convertible. The Mach-E, Ford’s all-electric SUV, which has already impressed with its performance, could radically transform if Ford decides to produce a convertible version. Imagine a sleek, open-air electric Mustang that combines the thrill of electric torque with the freedom of a convertible. Rumors suggest it’s in the works, combining the Mach-E’s sporty dynamics with wind-in-your-hair freedom. The result? It’s a pony car for the EV era.
Nissan Leaf Convertible (Prototype)
Nissan showcased a convertible version of the Leaf a few years back, and the idea hasn’t entirely faded. The prototype kept the Leaf’s signature 40 kWh battery, offering a respectable range of around 150 miles. However, with no roof, aerodynamics took a back seat (hopefully with sunscreen). While it had four seats, the missing top meant it was better suited for breezy commutes than rainy days. This one-off convertible was a charming attempt to electrify the world of soft tops, blending zero-emissions practicality with just a hint of impractical flair.
Karma Revero GT Convertible (Rumored)
Karma’s Revero GT blends luxury with sustainability; a convertible version would add a layer of opulence. Karma Automotive has been busy unveiling new models, including the Kaveya, an all-electric super coupe with butterfly doors slated for release in 2026. While a convertible variant of the Revero GT would undoubtedly turn heads and mess up hairdos, the company has not confirmed such plans. For now, enthusiasts will have to keep their fingers crossed and their sunhats ready, hoping that Karma decides to let the Revero GT feel the wind in its hypothetical hair.
Tesla Model S Convertible (Aftermarket)
The Tesla Model S Convertible doesn’t officially exist, but the aftermarket world loves a challenge. Pioneering custom shops have taken Elon Musk’s electric marvel and snip-snipped the roof, creating a whisper-quiet, eco-friendly drop-top. These conversions aren’t for the faint of wallet: prices can easily soar beyond $50,000 on top of the Model S’s sticker price. That’s Tesla luxury plus a sunburn budget.
Peugeot e-Legend Concept
The e-Legend Concept is a love letter to Peugeot’s classic 504 Coupe. With retro-futuristic styling, autonomous driving modes, and an electric powertrain, it’s a tantalizing glimpse of what convertibles could become. Inside, it’s part sci-fi lounge, part Parisian chic, with a 49-inch curved screen and wood trims that scream “artisanal yet techy.” It even offers autonomous driving, but you can still grab the wheel for old-school fun. Sadly, it’s a concept car—so don’t hold your breath. Peugeot’s Dreamer may not hit the streets, but it sure hit our hearts!
Aspark Owl Convertible (Speculation)
The Aspark Owl, that electrifying marvel from Japan, has been turning heads and snapping necks with its blistering speed and futuristic design. However, if you’re dreaming of feeling the wind in your hair while unleashing its 1,985 horsepower, you should pump the brakes. Currently, there’s no official word—or even a whisper—about a convertible version of this electric hypercar. Keep your eyes peeled and your seatbelts fastened; the automotive world is full of surprises.
Genesis X Convertible Concept
Genesis has been flexing its design muscles, and the X Convertible Concept is no exception. The interior? Pure Zen—sustainably sourced materials wrap around the cockpit, which hugs the driver like a best friend who actually returns your calls. The star feature? A panoramic hardtop roof that vanishes faster than snacks at a party. While it’s still a concept (read: not hitting showrooms anytime soon), the X Convertible teases Genesis’s commitment to luxury EVs that scream sophistication and whisper sustainability. Move over Tesla; Genesis brought style to the EV table.
Renault Morphoz Convertible (Concept)
The Renault Morphoz Convertible Concept is what happens when sci-fi meets sunshine. This shape-shifting electric car isn’t just futuristic—it’s downright overachieving. The Morphoz concept debuted in 2020, flaunting its ability to stretch or shrink depending on your mood (or parking space). Need a compact city ride? It’s 4.4 meters long. Planning a road trip? Hit a button, and it extends to 4.8 meters, making room for more battery, luggage, or your oversized picnic basket.
Mazda MX-5 Miata Electric Convertible (Speculation)
Mazda’s beloved Miata has always been about pure driving joy; an electric version could take that ethos into the future. Given the Miata’s reputation as a lightweight, nimble roadster, Mazda will likely opt for a mild hybrid system to keep weight in check and maintain its zippy character. Enthusiasts are buzzing with speculation, but until Mazda spills the beans, we’re all left playing the guessing game. One thing’s for sure: the future Miata will continue to deliver driving joy, possibly with a side of electrons. Stay tuned for more updates as Mazda electrifies its iconic convertible.
Cupra UrbanRebel Convertible
The CUPRA UrbanRebel is an all-electric concept car that showcases CUPRA’s vision for future urban mobility. Unveiled in 2021, this rebellious vehicle boasts a continuous power output of 250kW, peaking at 320kW, enabling it to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a zippy 3.2 seconds. Designed with a radical aesthetic, the UrbanRebel also features a distinctive shark-nose front and a wraparound window graphic reminiscent of a motorcycle helmet. Its chameleonic, multi-layered body color shifts between greenish and violet hues, adding to its dynamic presence.
Honda S2000 EV (Speculation)
Honda’s S2000 was an icon of the early 2000s, and enthusiasts have been clamoring for its return. This electrified S2000 is rumored to feature a rear-mounted motor, aligning with Honda’s e: N architecture. Enthusiasts are eager to see if this modern twist can capture the original’s high-revving spirit—minus the engine’s melodious roar. While Honda remains tight-lipped, the prospect of an electric S2000 successor has fans both excited and apprehensive. Will it deliver the same driving thrills without the need for earplugs?
