Which electric cars have the most range?


  • For 2025, dozens of EV variants top 300 miles of range
  • The top dozen contains pickups, SUVs, crossovers, sedans, and a hatchback
  • Standouts like Lucid Air and Hyundai Ioniq 6 manage market-leading range without huge battery packs

Less than a decade ago, 300 miles seemed like the holy grail for EV driving range. Now, even as the overdue reality of plentiful charging infrastructure and speedy roadside charging begins to take shape, some new EVs promise 500 miles of range.

EVs got to 300 miles with the Tesla Model S in 2016. In the years since then there’s been no turning back—especially as fast-charging infrastructure has lagged, and adoption of EVs beyond California and the “smile” states has brought cold-weather range concerns

Now there’s a whole crop of EVs with U.S. EPA ratings topping 350 miles, including several that top 400 miles. In 2023, 270 miles was the median, and it may soon be 300 miles.

You may also notice that there’s no shortage of trucks on this list. The gigantic Cadillac Escalade IQ has arrived, and big-battery Max Pack versions of Rivian’s R1S and R1T electric trucks both top 400 miles. And more are on the way.  

Getting the top range on many of these vehicles comes at a steep price, too. GMC, for instance, makes the larger 205-kwh battery pack a $9,995 option on the Hummer EV 3X Pickup on top of its $106,945 base price. That results in “GM-estimated” EPA-cycle ratings of 381 miles, or 359 miles with the available Extreme Off-Road Package. Those are unofficial though as the huge battery pack throws the Hummer into the medium-duty truck weight category with commercial trucks. 

Not every EV offering well beyond 300 miles of range is expensive, and there are some noteworthy standouts. For instance, the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV is rated at 319 miles of range, and GM is now delivering examples that carry a $34,995 base price.

We limited this list to vehicles that had official EPA range and efficiency ratings available at the EPA’s FuelEconomy.gov site as of March 27, 2025, making exceptions for vehicles that are currently being delivered—like the Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD. 

Likewise, to avoid repetition, we’re only listing the top-range model of each nameplate. It should be noted, for instance, that the entire Lucid Air lineup lands above 350 miles. 

EV range: weight and cost matter

Many of these vehicles achieve their range with huge battery packs that store enough energy to power houses (or commercial buildings) for days, and in pragmatic terms their battery packs cost (and weigh) as much as gasoline compact cars. 

If you’re thinking lean and green, this should definitely spark new questions about whether we need so much battery capacity and range, when many EVs are second or third cars tasked with daily commuting.

The list shows minimum price (including destination and mandatory fees) for that amount of range, as well as the curb weight and battery pack size for context. Generally, heavier vehicles mean a larger pack and more energy used.

All that said, here’s our list of the top twelve 2025 EVs with the most range.
