Electric cars with the longest ranges

Electric cars face some common issues with consumers, but the biggest concern has to be range.

That’s why car makers are pushing every day to extend the distance electric cars can drive. Mercedes has recently revealed its new CLA electric saloon, which has pushed the bar higher and it claims the model will be capable of 492 miles of range from its 85kWh battery pack and electric motor.

But while we wait for that, what EVs on the market can go the furthest distance on one charge.

We’ve compiled a list of the electric vehicles on sale today with the best electric ranges.

One of the best electric cars to drive is Porsche’s Taycan, with its sharp handling and extremely fast acceleration.

The largest battery pack on offer is a 105kWh unit that Porsche says can do a claimed 367 miles. However, for an additional cost, you can specify the Taycan with the ‘Performance Battery Plus’, which jumps the electric range up to 422 miles.

Also, the car looks good, has a very premium feeling interior and is very practical, with a large boot capacity and decent rear seating for occupants.

The iX is one of the best electric SUVs on the market, and recently, the car has gained a midlife makeover.

It receives a new end and updated interior trim, but the most important change is under the bonnet.

If you go for the xDrive60 model, it comes with a larger 109.2kWh battery pack that BMW claims can now take the car up to 426 miles on a single charge.

Inside, the cabin features a lot of high quality materials and there is loads of space in the back for occupants with acres of head and legroom.

If you want an SUV with a decent electric range, then look no further than the Peugeot E-3008.

The latest model was released in 2024, but for 2025, the car can now be specified with a larger 97kWh battery pack and electric motor that can do a claimed 435 miles between trips to the plug – the best range for an SUV.

Volkswagen is expanding its range of EVs and the ID.7 is one of its biggest electric offerings.

It comes with a 91kWh battery pack, and in the sporty ‘Pro S’ model variant, can do a claimed 436 miles on a single charge.
