The longest-range electric cars

EVs that can break the 300-mile barrier are growing in number – as are number of those that can crack 400 miles For many buyers, one number defines an EV: range. Which is understandable. Early electric cars didn’t go far between charges, and public chargers were few and far between. Take the 2010 Nissan Leaf - the first mass-market EV - which managed just 100 miles and took eight hours to charge at home. Times have thankfully changed. Even the cheapest electric cars of today can double the Leaf’s range and recharge in a fraction of the time. Thanks to major advances in battery and motor tech, some modern EVs can now go as far on a charge as petrol cars do on a full tank. Below is a list of the 10 longest-range electric cars on sale in the UK, based on official WLTP figures. Real-world results will vary and you are unlikely to achieve these figures unless you drive gently, in warm weather, or know a thing or two about hypermiling. The longest range electric car on sale in the UK is the Mercedes-Benz EQS with an impressive 481-mile range. Curious about the rest? Let’s get into it.
