What Your Parents Never Told you About Top 10 Longest-range Electric Cars In UK & US..

Going electric is increasingly becoming a popular choice for automobile purchasers today, but not everyone is persuaded. Range anxiety, or the possibility of getting an electric car that can't travel as far as they need it to on a single charge, actually scares off a lot of potential purchasers.The newest generation of electric vehicles, however, have some pretty respectable ranges, the kind that allow you to commute for a week on a single charge and still have enough left over for a weekend day trip.

These cars, which require less frequent charging, may be the answer to those who own electric vehicles but lack a driveway on which to charge them. And for those who do, it makes farther-off places more accessible, opening up the potential of an EV serving as the only vehicle in the home.

What are the longest-range electric vehicles currently on sale in the UK & US? We identified the top 10 and arranged them according to their range. And for the first time ever, all 10 can now travel at least 340 miles on a single charge under ideal circumstances. The world is changing, as they say.

Top 10 Longest range electric vehicles.

10. Volkswagen ID.3 - 340 mi

This is a little bit of a scam because the ID.3 you really want has the Pro Performance battery pack, which has a range of only 263 miles, whereas the Pro S version will give you the class-leading range. We prefer the less expensive model because it has somewhat less amazing ride and handling characteristics, but nothing else delivers as much for the money.

9. Tesla Model 3 - 348 mi & BMW iX - 348 mi

Tesla Model 3 - 348 mi

A Model 3 is available for only £42,990, albeit you must spend £50,000 to acquire the version with the greatest range. The Model X is an extremely strong EV and is already displacing sales from smaller executive rivals like the BMW 3-Series. It has a rather lovely, minimalist interior, plenty of space, and a plethora of high-tech gadgetry. Nevertheless, compared to some of the other options here, the Model X looks like great value.

BMW iX - 348 mi

The BMW iX's controversial appearance, with its lofty grille, sloping tail, and narrow headlamps, is probably the first thing you'll notice about it. The fact that it is one of the longest-range electric vehicles available in the UK, at least if you choose the top-of-the-line M60, is less clear. Beyond its exterior, the iX is also quick, quiet, and comfortable to drive, and it has a stunning interior adorned with fascinating features.

8. BMW i4 - 365 mi.

The sleek i4 is a formidable contender to the Tesla Model 3 and the antithesis of the contemporary, bulky electric SUV. Its superior range alone demonstrates how seriously BMW is taking its American opponent. In addition, it has a smoother ride and higher build quality than the Model 3 and offers a more engaging driving experience. The drawbacks? Although you have to put up with that grille, there aren't many.

7. Tesla Model 3 - 374 mi

Price increases for the Model 3 have definitely been noticeable lately. Even the most basic model will set you back £48,490, but you'll have to shell out £57,490 to acquire the most advanced model. The Model 3 no longer offers the alluring value it once did, but it is still a very powerful electric vehicle that is already displacing sales from lower-end executive rivals like the BMW 3 Series thanks to its rather lovely, minimalist interior, generous interior space, and abundance of high-tech gadgetry.

6. Ford Mustang Mach-E - 379 mi

Ford's entry into the EV market is as controversial as it is significant. Controversial due to its appropriation of Ford's most recognisable muscle car's name and visual characteristics; noteworthy due to its arrival with a huge range, at least in long-range, rear-wheel-drive configuration, and a Tesla-aping minimalist cabin that is predominated by a large touchscreen. The lightning-fast GT is now the top model in the Mache-E lineup, but to obtain the maximum range mentioned below, you'll need to select the less expensive RWD Extended Range model.

5. Hyundai Ioniq 6 - 379 mi

The Ioniq 6 follows the Ioniq 5 closely, as would be expected. The newest electric vehicle from Hyundai is a sleek, streamlined saloon, in stark contrast to the previous model's edgy SUV. The Ioniq 6 has an advantage over its closest and most significant competitor, the Tesla Model 3, thanks to its lower profile and smoother bodywork, which allows it to gain a substantially larger range from the same 77.4kWh battery as its stablemate.

4. BMW i7 - 387 mi

Unlike its opponent, BMW's answer to the Mercedes-Benz EQS isn't based on a dedicated EV platform; instead, it must share its underpinnings with the incoming 7-Series luxury saloon, which puts it at a minor disadvantage. This is evident in the shorter range, but don't write off the i7 out of hand; the strategy BMW has adopted results in cheaper development costs, which should, in theory, make the i7 more reasonably priced compared to its competitors. And if it can actually reach the 387-mile range BMW claims, most purchasers will find that to be more than plenty.

3. Mercedes-Benz EQE – 395 mi (350)

The EQE, Mercedes' smaller, marginally more economical luxury electric saloon, follows closely behind the EQS. Although it can't quite match the 410-mile range Mercedes promised for the production model, the 395-mile range for the EQE350+ is still impressive and outperforms anything else that the EQE could classify as a direct competition. Although the EQE is exquisitely constructed and gorgeous inside, keep in mind that its back seats and boot aren't the most roomy.

2. Tesla Model S – 405 mi

The Model S is getting on in years, but it's ageing gracefully, and Tesla claims that with regular over-the-air updates and improvements, it's as as innovative as ever. The 405-mile range of the Long Range variant is undoubtedly surpassed by just one other electric vehicle now on the UK market. But keep in mind that this is only an estimate based on US testing; the most recent Model S models haven't yet had their European WLTP data released. And at a cool £91,980, it's not exactly cheap.

1. Mercedes-Benz EQS – 453 mi

The vehicle Mercedes-Benz hopes to defeat the Model S with is the EQS, which would overtake it in terms of popularity. A fill-up in one of the EQS's diesel equivalents would only get you about 453 miles of range from its enormous 108kWh battery, which is hardly conceivable. When you combine it with its outstanding ride quality and opulent interior, you get a vehicle that somewhat makes the Model S seem dated.
