Almost all electric vehicle drivers will experience "range anxiety" at some point - the fear that they may run out of electrons before reaching their destination. These long-range electric vehicles offer the greatest peace of mind.

Bigger Battery, Longer Range

Battery and range are tightly linked. Usually, the bigger the battery pack on an electric car, the longer the range. If you’re looking for electric vehicles that can take you the distance, now is a great time to consider one of many long-range vehicle options available today.

The following vehicles currently offer the greatest range on the market based on EPA ratings. They can take you up to 500 miles depending on the car, truck, or SUV you choose. Keep in mind that the EPA ratings are estimated figures and your range may vary depending on how heavy your accelerator foot is, how many passengers or gear you are carrying, as well as road and weather conditions.

Today's Longest Range Electric Cars

In 2025, there’s a huge variety of choice available if you want to go the distance in an EV. Whether you’re looking for a tough pickup truck, a sleek sedan, or a versatile SUV, there’s a long-range EV for you. Ranked from longest EPA range estimate, here are the 10 longest-range EVs currently available:

Lucid Air Grand Touring parked with a sunset background

Lucid Air Grand Touring AWD

Lucid’s sleek, unbelievably efficient sedan is the first vehicle to have an EPA range estimate of over 500 miles. The fact that it does so without a massive battery that requires ultra-long charging times makes its achievement all the more impressive. Other Lucid Air models offer different trade-offs between performance and range, depending on your tastes.

Chevrolet Silverado EV 4WT pulling a trailer

Chevrolet Silverado EV 4WT, 450 miles

The Chevrolet Silverado, like its platform-sharing Cadillac Escalade IQ and GMC Sierra EV, gets its long range thanks to a monstrous 200-plus-kWh battery, making this a really heavy beast that will take a long time to charge if you’re starting from empty. Still, it’s hard to argue with its versatility and flexibility. The 4WT is the basic “work truck” model of the Silverado; a glitzy RST with 24-inch wheels loses about 50 miles of range by comparison.

Cadillac Escalade IQ, 450 miles

The electric version of one of America’s most popular luxury SUVs, the Cadillac Escalade IQ can go up to 450 miles between charges, and has a stunning interior and luxury features as well. Its range comes courtesy of a huge battery, and less so from efficiency.

Rivian R1T parked on a beach

Rivian R1T Performance, 410 miles

This four-door pickup from the American EV startup is ready for adventure with over 400 miles of range from a moderately large battery. It’s also pretty efficient for a large, heavy EV, meaning that charging times and costs are reasonable. Other R1T versions with larger wheels and different drivetrains score lower in the range stakes.

Tesla Model S on a racetrack

Tesla Model S Long Range all-wheel drive, 405 miles

One of the first mainstream electric vehicles on the market is still one of the most efficient, thanks to its sleek aerodynamics. We also like the Model S spacious interior and its impressive zero to 60mph time of 3.1 seconds. The rest of the package, however, is starting to feel its age.

Rivian R1S driving through the city

Rivian R1S Performance, 400 miles

The SUV version of the R1T pickup is actually a little less efficient, despite it looking sleeker and more integrated. Still, you get Rivian’s excellent technology, a spacious interior, and lots of clever features for your dollar. Like the R1T, there are other options, with different battery sizes and wheels, that offer a little less range.

a parked GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition

GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition, 400 miles

A close cousin of the Chevrolet Silverado, the GMC Sierra EV is a luxurious pickup that effortlessly crosses the boundaries between work and personal use with a spacious, well-equipped interior, lots of power, and great flexibility. It goes far on a charge thanks to a humongous battery.

GMC Hummer EV 3X pickup, 381 miles

Are you surprised to see a Hummer on a list of the longest-range EVs? Well, it’s not an indicator of overall efficiency. Despite its big range rating, the Hummer EV is an energy hog, and its battery is over 200 kWh. That means to charge it from zero to full could take an entire day. Still, the big battery gives it impressive performance and off-road chops.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE parked and charging

Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE rear-wheel drive, 361 miles

A sleek, streamlined teardrop of a sedan the Ioniq 6 is a testament to the power of aerodynamics, offering 60 miles more EPA-estimated range than the Ioniq 5 crossover to which it’s closely related. We love its looks, its spacious interior, and how quiet it is on a long drive.

A Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ parked on a building rooftop with a city skyline background

Mercedes-Benz EQS, 352 miles

A huge luxury sedan that is also hugely efficient, the Mercedes-Benz EQS combines the best of electric propulsion with the luxury of an S-Class sedan. It has what must be the world’s largest digital automotive display; a “hyperscreen” that spans the entire width of the car, encompassing three separate LCD panels.

Longest Range EVs: The Road Ahead

Estimated range for all-electric vehicles continues to increase along with the number of new EVs hitting the road each day. Both battery range and EV adoption have increased rapidly over the last decade. As of around 2010, most electric vehicles could barely go above 80 miles on a charge. In contrast, there are now many vehicles with EPA range estimates over 400 miles, and even over 500 miles.

This is just the beginning of the range wars to come, with dozens of new all-electric vehicles coming your way in 2026 and beyond. Range anxiety will soon be a thing of the past.
