Overcoming range anxiety is paramount for potential EV adopters, but automakers are rapidly ensuring that concern becomes a thing of the past. Thanks to rapid advancements in battery and motor tech, top-tier electric vehicles now rival traditional petrol and diesel vehicles in terms of distance on a single charge.

It's essential to note that the range statistics provided are either directly from manufacturers or based on the official WLTP testing methodology. While real-world performance might differ slightly, you can expect to achieve around 80-90% of the quoted figures.

Even compact superminis boast over 200-mile ranges, but these 10 EV's go beyond that and by some distance. Incorporating large batteries, efficient drivetrains, and streamlined aerodynamics, the Electric Cars in this list promise to address the concerns of prospective buyers, as these options will likely leave you with plenty of charge remaining at the end of a journey.

The majestic EQS-SUV is the newest member of Mercedes' continually growing EV collection. Hailing from the EVA2 platform, this seven-seater is powered by a substantial 108.4kWh lithium-ion battery positioned beneath its floor. Its sizable 2.7-ton kerbweight and aerodynamics design notwithstanding, it boasts an impressive 365-mile range.

The 536bhp EQS 580 emphasizes luxury with a comfortable and smooth ride, but don't be deceived – it can dash from 0-62mph in just 4.6 seconds. Dual motors ensure all models benefit from the 4MATIC all-wheel drive, and uniquely, this is the first electric Mercedes to introduce a dedicated off-road driving mode.

Elon Musk's most budget-friendly offering has soared in popularity thanks to its mix of cutting-edge technology, daily practicality, and remarkable speed, marking it as a standout in sales. The Model 3 may be the world's top-selling EV, but it narrowly misses the top spot on our list.

While there's a variety of versions available, those seeking maximum mobility should opt for the aptly named Long Range Plus. With its 82kWh battery, it delivers an impressive 374 miles on just one charge.




8. Ford Mustang Mach E

While purists might debate its Mustang naming, the Mach-E drives very well indeed, marked by notable agility, traction, and stability. And for those seeking extended range, the rear-wheel drive model, coupled with the larger 88kWh battery, offers a substantial 379 miles between charges.

Although the interior might feel a bit on the budget side, the massive Tesla-inspired infotainment tablet lends a contemporary, tech-savvy touch. The Mustang Mach-E is not lacking in the power department either – the 345bhp four-wheel drive variant sprints to 62mph in just 5.1 seconds.



7. BMW iX

There's no disputing the iX's impressive range capabilities. The premier xDrive50 Sport boasts a commendable 380 miles per charge, made possible by its substantial 105.2kWh lithium-ion battery paired with two electric motors pumping out a combined 516bhp. Furthermore, the iX's 200kW DC charging capability stands out, allowing it to recover up to 80% of its charge in a mere 35 minutes.

While its design may be a topic of debate, even with its hefty weight of over two and a half tons, this BMW exhibits remarkable agility on the road. The ride prioritizes both comfort and sophistication.




6. Hyundai Ioniq 6

Powered by a 105kWh battery, it claims a reach of up to 387 miles on a full charge.

While opinions vary on BMW's recent design direction, it's undeniable that their inaugural electric luxury limousine is a triumph. Nestled behind the distinctive grille of the revamped 7 Series, enthusiasts can opt for either traditional engines or the i7.




4. Mercedes EQE

While the EQE saloon might be easily mistaken for its larger counterpart, the EQS due to their similar design, the Mercedes-Benz EQE stands strong as a desirable choice for extended travels, especially with the single motor 350+ variant that promises an impressive 394 miles from its robust 100kWh battery.

Diving into its features, the EQE saloon presents a blend of pros and cons. Its interior is adorned with state-of-the-art features, notably Mercedes' stellar MBUX infotainment system. As ytou would expect from a car of this prestige, it delivers in terms of speed, comfort and refinement. However, it doesn't offer as much space as its rivals, and there are potential concerns about the finish quality.




3. Tesla Model S

Tesla's veteran Model S remains unparalleled when it comes to range on a single charge. Consequently, the Long Range Plus, equipped with a 100kWh battery, boasts an impressive 405-mile range between charges. Ongoing enhancements, supplemented by over-the-air updates, have enabled the Model S to maximize efficiency from its lithium-ion battery, with Tesla hinting at further advancements.

While it might not match the build quality and driving dynamics of its newer competitors—having somewhat unresponsive steering and lackluster handling, its excellent range makes the Model S the gold standard in EV distance travel.
