Which Electric Cars Have The Longest Driving Range?

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. 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 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 493 miles on a full charge.

Based on the same platform as the Chevy Silverado EV and GMC Hummer EV pickup, the Sierra EV boasts a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds, four-wheel steering and a pair of electric motors making 754 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque when the so-called Max Power mode is activated.

When it comes to charging, the beefy Sierra EV Denali 1 EV is capable of accepting up to 350 kW from a compatible fast charger, enabling it to add about 100 miles of range in 10 minutes.

The Escalade represents the pinnacle of American luxury. It is the spiritual successor to the soaring tailfins and chrome-heavy land yachts of the 1960s, but evolved for modern tastes.

In an era of downsizing, the Escalade remains the final, definitive form of the classic Cadillac luxury barge. It also happens to deliver an impressive driving range, thanks to a massive 200 kWh battery.

Lucid put everything it learned with the Air in the Gravity, a three-row family SUV. The electric family hauler is now one of the fastest-charging EVs in America, and because it was designed with efficiency in mind, it can deliver over 400 miles on a full charge.

BMW’s first Neue Klasse-based EV, the iX3 SUV, delivers impressive performance at a price that’s comparable to the gas-powered X3. With an 800-volt battery that can accept up to 400 kW from a DC fast charger, the iX3 can go the distance, and then get back on the road when a top-up is needed.

The refreshed Rivian R1T ups the range figure from its predecessor by 10 miles thanks to a very long list of under-the-skin tweaks, including ditching almost two miles of internal wiring, reworking the entire manufacturing process, and refining the software.

The same improvements that were made to the R1T pickup also made their way to the seven-seater R1S SUV, leading to a 10-mile increase in range for the California-based EV maker’s flagship model.

The electric A6 is based on the bespoke PPE electric platform, which enables ultra-fast charging speeds and nearly 400 miles of range. The A6 e-tron battles it out with cars like the Lucid Air and the now-discontinued Tesla Model S.

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.

Just like BMW, Mercedes-Benz decided it’s time to charge forward with a new generation of EVs that promise longer driving ranges and much higher charging speeds. The new CLA is one of those next-gen EVs, with an 800V battery that can recharge much faster than its predecessors. Efficiency is also front and center, with a slippery body that helps keep the energy consumption low.

BMW’s first proper all-electric SUV has looks that you either love or hate. It also has over 350 miles of advertised driving range in the xDrive60 version, which comes with a dual-motor setup.

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 363 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.

This is the facelifted Model 3 “Highland” we have here, which superseded the previous entry-level sedan. It’s also a version that sometimes just disappears from the company’s online configurator, so keep an eye out for it if you want the longest-range Model 3.

The most popular EV in the world in 2023, the Tesla Model Y offers more range than the outgoing model and many other cars on this list for a rather attractive price.

The first Polestar to be manufactured in the United States is also the brand’s first mid-size crossover. The SUV promises to deliver 350 miles of range on a full charge and a 0-to 60 miles per hour sprint in 7.5 seconds, but there are faster versions available, too. The entry-level model, which is also the longest-range one, has a single rear drive unit and can DC fast charge at a rate of up to 250 kW for a 10 to 80% top-up in a little under 30 minutes.

The cheapest Hyundai Ioniq 6 is also the one that offers the longest driving range. In this case, it’s 342 miles for the SE Long Range equipped with a single rear-mounted electric motor that makes 168 kilowatts (225 horsepower).

This being said, it’s worth noting that Hyundai has officially discontinued the regular versions of the Ioniq 6 in the U.S. due to slower-than-expected sales, leaving just the go-fast Ioniq 6 N on offer. Still, there are regular Ioniq 6s in inventory across the country.

Based on the same 800V E-GMP platform as the Ioniq 5 fan favorite, the Ioniq 9 offers the fast charging speeds that Hyundai has become known for, but in a much bigger package.

The three-row Ioniq 9 is technically similar to the Kia EV9, but comes with a bigger battery, a longer range, and a nicer interior.

18. 2026 BMW i4 Gran Coupe: 333 miles

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 for the 2026 model year is the eDrive40e. It’s powered by a single, rear-mounted electric motor that makes 335 hp and 317 lb-ft.

The i4 is expected to be retired after the new i3 sedan debuts later this year, but until that happens, the electric fastback is still a great option for those who want a driver’s EV.

The Macan EV is based on the same underpinnings as the new Audi Q6 e-tron, which means it can charge ridiculously fast and delivers over 300 miles of range with ease. The longest-range version is also the cheapest.

20 (tie). Rivian R2: 330 miles

The R2 is smaller than the R1 flagships, but it’s also a lot more affordable. That price decrease, however, also comes with a range drop. The first R2s that will reach customers this spring will be capable of delivering up to 330 miles on a full charge, courtesy of an 87.9 kWh battery pack. With up to 656 hp and 609 lb-ft, the dual-motor R2 Performance is seriously quick for a crossover, going from 0-to-60 mph in 3.6 seconds.

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. It’s also one of those cars that needs a significant effort to get ahold of, as VinFast currently has fewer than 20 dealerships across the country.

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 next-gen EVs like the Lyriq. You can think of this EV as a toned-down Escalade, with a nice interior and a great ride.

The dual-motor version of Tesla‘s once internet-famous electric pickup was once the longest-range electric pickup in the U.S., but that’s no longer the case, as GM has upped the game significantly with the Chevy Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV. The Cybertruck is also struggling with sales.

A bolt-in range extender battery that fits in the truck’s bed was apparently in the works, but it never saw the light of day, so this is the longest-range Cybertruck we’ll probably ever see.

The all-new Q6 e-tron is based on the same platform as the all-electric Porsche Macan. This means it was purpose-built to be a battery-powered car, and it shows. With up to 456 hp on tap and an advertised 10 to 80% recharge in just 21 minutes from a compatible DC fast charger, Audi’s mid-size crossover EV seems to have what it takes in an increasingly competitive market.

Chevy’s new Equinox EV joins its big brother, the Blazer EV, as one of the most affordable American range kings. With 319 miles of range (in front-wheel-drive form; adding eAWD drops range to a still-good 307 miles), this is a good option for families looking to avoid any anxiety on their next road trip. Thanks to its great value, the Equinox EV is now America’s best-selling non-Tesla EV.

24 (tie). 2026 GMC Hummer EV SUV: 319 miles

Unlike the pickup, the SUV version of the GMC Hummer EV only has room for a 20-module battery pack, down from the pickup’s 24 modules. Because of this, the maximum range of the massive American EV is 319 miles. That said, everything else stays the same, including the $100,000+ price tag and wild off-road features.

The facelifted sporty Korean crossover has a maximum advertised driving range of 319 miles for its second most affordable version called the Light Long Range RWD, courtesy of a 77.4-kWh battery pack. Recently, Kia dropped the EV6’s price by a massive $5,000, making the American-built hatchback an even better option.

Generally considered to be one of the more refined competitors to the Tesla Model Y, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 crossover offers up to 318 miles on a full charge, which is less than its main rival, but makes up for it with a bit more character and a better ride. The Ioniq 5 comes in rear- and all-wheel drive form, but the range for the dual-motor trims is lower.

The Optiq is the equivalent of the Chevrolet Equinox EV in Cadillac’s lineup. In other words, an EV that’s smaller than a mid-size crossover, but one that comes with a healthy array of standard equipment, including all-wheel drive and GM’s Super Cruise advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) that enables hands-free driving on hundreds of thousands of miles of mapped highways in North America.

26 (tie). 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV: 317 miles

The EQS SUV is, just like its name suggests, the crossover cousin of the fish-shaped EQS luxury sedan. In other words, it was developed as an EV from the get-go, but it’s based on a previous-generation platform, which is slowly getting outpaced by rivals like the Lucid Gravity.

The refreshed Taycan comes with a myriad of improvements over the outgoing model, including faster charging speeds and more driving range. With the optional Performance Battery Plus, the German sports electric sedan finally breaks the 300-mile mark on the EPA cycle.

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.

That said, the heavily revised 2027 i7 ups the range figure to 350 miles, but we’re still a few months away from the first deliveries.

The rear-wheel drive Blazer EV RS uses a 102 kWh battery pack that enables a driving range of up to 312 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 i5 is BMW’s first electric 5 Series, and it’s also a compromised one. The same platform is used for both the electric and gas versions, so you get a car that feels like it could have been a lot better. Still, it’s the first electric BMW with a native NACS charge port, and it still drives like a proper Bavarian sports sedan.

Rather confusingly, the Polestar 4 is not bigger or more expensive than the Polestar 3. Instead, it slots between the Polestar 2 and Polestar 3 in the Swedish-based automaker’s lineup.

It’s supposed to be the company’s breadmaker in an increasingly crowded crossover market, where it wants to stand out with sleek body lines and the absence of a rear window. Whether that will be to everybody’s taste or not remains to be seen.

The EQS’s smaller brother, the EQE sedan, is powered by a smaller battery, but it’s still laser-focused on efficiency. The EQE is also more affordable than the EQS.

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning an Escalade but couldn’t quite get around its huge size, then the Vistiq might be the better choice for you. It slots between the humongous Escalade and the Lyriq, and features the same ride quality and interior comfort as its bigger brother, just at a lower price and with a shorter range.

One of the best electric family haulers out there and a personal favorite of mine, the Kia EV9 is a solid choice for anyone who needs a three-row SUV that can do it all.

The new Leaf is probably the perfect everyday car; that’s why it won our Breakthrough Award 2026. It blends affordable pricing with plenty of range and a better ride than Nissan’s comparable gas cars.

The EQE SUV might be one of the rarest EVs in America, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a compelling car for the right crowd. It offers the same refinement as the EQE sedan, but with a higher driving position, without sacrificing range too much.

The Mustang Mach-E is the last car on this list, and the 2026 model is slightly less expensive than its predecessor. Traditionally regarded as the sportier alternative to the Tesla Model Y, the Mach-E offers a more engaging drive and a rock-solid reliability record.
