Electric vehicles with the longest range

Find out which electric vehicles have the longest driving range, along with information about the vehicle and price.

Driving range is one of the most important factors when buying an electric vehicle.

If you’re like most people, you’ve been concerned about an electric vehicle not being able to reach a destination or handle a daily commute. That’s known as range anxiety.

With that said, many electric vehicles have sufficient range for your daily commute and a road trip.

Plus, there are more and more charging stations across the globe.

However, driving range is still a concern and many automakers are improving their batteries and vehicles to offer a longer driving range.

As of right now, the following are the electric vehicles that have the longest range.

Keep in mind that all of the ranges are estimates from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The actual driving range depends on many factors, such as weather, location, weight, and how you drive.
