Which Electric Cars Have The Most Driving Range?

A total of 28 electric cars are on the list and all of them have 300 miles of range or more.

An electric car’s driving range is probably the first thing a prospective buyer will look at when shopping around for a new battery-powered vehicle. It’s also one of the most important metrics we judge EVs by because range anxiety is still one of the biggest pain points for people who are looking to get a new EV for the first time, together with the high purchase price and worries about the charging experience.

Even though one study found that owners experience less range anxiety the more they drive their EVs and get more accustomed to them, knowing that your car is capable of covering more miles on a single charge than you need can be comforting, especially in the winter, when official range figures are almost sure to drop due to the lower temperatures that affect the chemistry of the battery.

So, here are the longest-range EVs available today in the United States, together with their associated price. The figures come straight from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the manufacturers themselves, so they’re not the values that one might encounter in the real world, but they are a solid starting point. 

Also, it’s worth noting that the EPA lists all the different versions of a single EV on its website. We combed through the data and only included the longest-range variants. This means that there are other trim levels of the same model that have less range and typically a smaller price tag, so consider that when reviewing the list below. The prices include the destination fee unless specified otherwise.

The Grand Touring is just one step away from the top-of-the-line Air Sapphire in Lucid’s sedan lineup. While it doesn’t have the outrageous 1,234-horsepower output of the Sapphire, it takes the crown as the longest-range EV in the United States, with an EPA rating of 516 miles on a full charge when equipped with 19-inch wheels.

That said, it’s not like it’s short on power. Its dual-motor, all-wheel drive powertrain provides a healthy 819 hp, enabling a zero to 60 miles per hour sprint in just 3 seconds.

The Silverado is Chevrolet’s first-ever electric pickup. It’s still in the production ramp-up phase, with fewer than 1,000 units having been delivered in 2023, but things are slowly improving on this front.

It’s also the longest-range electric pickup to be rated by the EPA, with a maximum driving distance of 450 miles on a full charge for the fleet-oriented 4WT version that goes for $79,800. 

The EV that raised the bar for driving range when it was introduced back in 2012 is still going strong all these years later as one of the longest-range battery-powered cars available.

The most affordable Model is also the one that offers the longest driving distance on a full charge–405 miles–whereas the more expensive tri-motor Plaid has an estimated range of 359 miles.

Rivian’s biggest battery on sale, known as the Max Pack, enables an EPA-estimated driving range of 410 miles for the R1T pickup either with the Dual-Motor or Performance Dual-Motor setup. 

But despite its name, the Max Pack actually has the same footprint as the more affordable Large Pack that’s $10,000 less expensive. The difference is that the Max Pack has updated, more energy-dense 2170 cells that ultimately add 14 kilowatt-hours of capacity over the Large Pack for a total of 149 kWh. The R1T with the Large Pack has 352 miles of range.

Because of the extra bodywork that inherently comes with an SUV shape compared to a pickup, the R1S has a slightly lower EPA range rating of 400 miles with the biggest battery Rivian offers. That said, the R1S with the Large Pack is rated at 352 miles, just like the R1T pickup.

The reborn Hummer, now in all-electric guise, comes with a massive, 24-module battery pack on the 3X trim level, enabling a driving range of up to 381 miles on a full charge. It also weighs over 9,000 pounds (or about 4.5 tons), making it one of the heaviest pickups in the United States, thanks in no small part to the roughly 210-kilowatt-hour battery pack.

Just like the Tesla Model S, the cheapest Hyundai Ioniq 6 is also the one that offers the longest driving range. In this case, it’s 361 miles for the SE Long Range equipped with a single rear-mounted electric motor that makes 168 kilowatts (225 horsepower).

• Price: $66,547 excluding destination charge

As Fisker’s first all-electric series production model, the Ocean SUV delivers a pretty impressive 360 miles of driving on a full charge, 50 more than the Tesla Model Y that debuted four years ago. That said, the Fisker crossover in its most expensive and longest-range version has a significantly higher price than any of the Model Y variants.

The all-electric alternative to the iconic Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a good effort, range-wise, for the German luxury carmaker. Coincidentally, the longest-range version of the EQS sedan is also the most affordable, although we wouldn’t necessarily call an MSRP of over $100,000 affordable.

This is the facelifted Model 3 Highland we have here, which superseded the previous entry-level sedan and is the only Model 3 that’s available as a custom-built EV on Tesla’s website in the United States.

• Price: $79,990 excluding destination charge

The dual-motor version of Tesla‘s internet-famous electric pickup has the highest advertised range of the three variants that are shown on the company’s website. 

A bolt-in range extender battery that fits in the truck’s bed is apparently in the works, but until it sees the light of day, this is the longest-range Cybertruck.

The Falcon door-sporting flagship electric SUV has lost some of its appeal over the years, which is evident when looking at the sales numbers, but its range game is still strong after almost a decade in existence.

Vietnamese automaker VinFast’s flagship EV, the VF9, manages to just slip under the top 10 longest-range electric cars in the United States, but at 330 miles in Eco trim, it’s still a respectable effort for a newcomer.

The rear-wheel drive Blazer EV RS is based on General Motors’ Ultium platform and uses a 102 kWh battery pack that enables a driving range of up to 324 miles on a full charge. Speaking of charge, the zero-emissions Blazer can top up its batteries at up to 190 kW from a DC fast charger, while the onboard charger can accept up to 11.5 kW of power when connected to an AC source.

The Chevrolet Blazer EV RS RWD has a single, rear-mounted electric motor that makes 340 hp and 325 lb-ft.

The i7 is to BMW’s lineup what the EQS is in Mercedes-Benz’s portfolio. In other words, it’s the all-electric alternative to the flagship 7 Series, and it looks like Mercedes managed to overtake its main German rival on the driving range front because the longest-range i7 can’t quite keep up with the EQS 450+, at least on paper.

Ford’s first-ever mass-market pickup truck is close to the Tesla Cybertruck All-Wheel Drive in terms of range– 20 miles separate the two–but it’s also less expensive than Tesla’s angular truck.

Polestar’s four-door liftback EV has an 82-kWh battery in this particular version. It also comes with a rear-mounted electric motor that develops 299 hp and 361 pound-feet of torque, allowing the Chinese-made electric car to sprint from zero to 60 in 5.9 seconds.

17. 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV: 319 miles

• Price: $41,900 excluding destination charge

Chevy’s new Equinox EV joins its big brother the Blazer EV as one of the affordable new American range kings. With 319 miles of range (in front-wheel-drive form; adding eAWD drops range to a still-good 285 miles) this is a good option for families looking to avoid any anxiety on their next road trip.

Cadillac’s Lyriq has been long in the making but the sales figures are showing that General Motors is finally stepping up its manufacturing game by churning out more and more Ultium-based EVs like the Lyriq. In rear-wheel drive guise, Cadillac’s first mass-market EV can travel up to 314 miles on a full charge, just like the next Ultium-based EV on this list.

Unlike the pickup, the SUV version of the GMC Hummer EV only has room for a 20-module battery pack. Because of this, the maximum range of the massive American EV is 314 miles, compared to the pickup’s 381 miles.

The Mustang Mach-E California Route 1 is a rather interesting model in Ford’s electric car lineup. Although it has a dual-motor, all-wheel drive setup, it offers more driving range than Mach-E trims that have the same type of battery and are rear-wheel drive only.

BMW’s first proper all-electric SUV has looks that you either love or hate. It also has over 300 miles of advertised driving range in the xDrive50 version which comes with a dual-motor setup that’s good for 516 hp and a zero to 60 miles per hour sprint in 4.4 seconds.

The sporty Korean crossover has a maximum advertised driving range of 310 miles for its second most affordable version called the Light Long Range RWD, courtesy of a 77.4-kWh battery pack. The cheapest EV6 is about $3,000 less but only comes with a 58-kWh battery that enables a driving range of 232 miles.

The most popular car in the world in 2023, the Tesla Model Y offers the same advertised driving range as the cheaper Kia EV6 but brings all-wheel drive to the table.

The German coupe-like four-door sedan is available in four powertrain options in the United States but the one that delivers the longest driving range is the xDrive40e. That means it has a dual-motor, all-wheel drive setup that delivers up to 396 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque.

A newcomer in the EV world, the Kia EV9 is touted as being the first nine-seater battery-powered SUV that also delivers more than adequate comfort, performance, and driving range.

Nissan was one of the first mass-market automakers to sell an EV when it introduced the first-generation Leaf. But now the Japanese marque has set its sights on becoming a major player in the EV world, which means more and more battery-powered Nissans will soon be available.

But before that happens, there’s the Ariya crossover to consider, which is the first in the company’s new wave of zero-emissions vehicles.

Generally considered to be one of the more refined competitors to the Tesla Model Y, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 crossover offers up to 303 miles on a full charge, which is 7 miles less than its American rival. The Ioniq 5 also comes in all-wheel drive form, but the range for those trims is even lower.

The only electric Audi to break the 300-mile mark is the flagship Q8 Sportback e-tron, which needs the no-cost Ultra package to be able to achieve this range rating. The Ultra pack comes with smaller, 19-inch wheels (compared to the standard 20-inchers), low-rolling resistance summer tires, and a Sport air suspension system with efficiency programming.

Without the optional Ultra pack, the Q8 Sportback e-tron has an advertised range of 296 miles.
