Electric Cars With The Longest Range (2025)

BMW’s flagship is back, and it’s gone fully electric. The seventh-generation 7 Series is here to show what luxury EVs can really do. Whether you’re into the bold looks or not, the real head-turner is inside: a massive 31.3-inch theatre screen that drops down from the roof for rear passengers. Underneath, it packs a 105.7kWh battery, dual motors with 536bhp, and a range of up to 387 miles. That’s enough to do your daily commute, and then some, without even thinking about charging.

The new Porsche Macan was already crowned Electric Car of the Year, and now it’s even more tempting. Porsche added a new single-motor, rear-wheel drive version that’s lighter by 110kg and can go up to 398 miles on a full charge from its 100kWh battery. And because it’s still a Porsche, you’re getting serious performance too: 355bhp (with launch control) to the rear wheels. Want more power? You’ve got options: the Macan 4 (402bhp, 381 miles), Macan 4S (509bhp, 376 miles), or the beastly Macan Turbo with 630bhp and a 367-mile range.

The Polestar 2 got a facelift in summer 2023, and the biggest upgrade is all about range. The entry-level single motor version now comes with a 69kWh battery that can do up to 343 miles (up from 275), while the long-range version gets an 82kWh battery good for up to 408 miles (up from 336). That’s a serious boost, especially if range anxiety’s been holding you back.

One of the few proper seven-seat electric SUVs out there (for now, at least), this one stands out with a massive 97kWh battery and up to 414 miles of range. You’ve got different power options to choose from, and inside it’s seriously comfy - think i-Cockpit setup, a huge panoramic roof, and more legroom than you’ll know what to do with.

Porsche’s first all-electric car was already seriously impressive, but the 2024 update takes things up a notch. It’s had a major mid-life refresh that boosts power, range, and charging speed. The rear-wheel drive Taycan now gets a bigger 105kWh battery (up from 93kWh), pushing range up to 421 miles, that’s a 35% jump. And with new 320kW charging tech (up from 270kW), you can go from 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes. The old one took 37. That’s wild.

The BMW iX is the brand’s first proper ground-up EV since the i3, and yeah, it still divides opinion. The latest facelift adds BMW’s now-signature light-up kidney grille. But if you can look past the bold styling, there’s a lot going for it. The xDrive60 version packs a massive 109.1kWh battery and delivers up to 426 miles on a charge. Even the entry-level xDrive45 isn’t messing around, with a 94.8kWh battery and up to 374 miles of range. Not bad at all.

Say hello to the Mercedes EQE, the EQS’s little sibling. If the EQS is like the S-Class for electric Mercs, the EQE is basically the electric E-Class. It’s 90mm shorter, but don’t let that fool you. The 2024 update gave it a bigger 96kWh battery (up from 90kWh), boosting its range to 429 miles, that’s 49 miles more than before.

The Peugeot 3008 has seriously leveled up since day one. Now, the E-3008 EV gets a battery upgrade that pushes its range up to 435 miles, plus a handy preconditioning system included as standard. Definitely a glow-up worth noticing.

Volkswagen’s first fully electric sedan fixes a lot of the issues the earlier ID models had, and it can go further than any of them. Thanks to a sleek, coupe-style design, it has a super low drag coefficient of just 0.23Cd, helping boost its range. You can pick between two versions: the ‘Pro’ with 381 miles from a 77kWh battery, or the ‘Pro S’ pushing 436 miles with an 86kWh battery. Say goodbye to range anxiety.

The Tesla Model 3’s been killing it on the UK electric charts since it dropped, and in late 2023 it got its biggest upgrade yet: sharper looks, a fresh interior, better aerodynamics, and even more range. But the real game-changer came in late 2024 when Tesla launched the long-range rear-wheel drive version in the UK and Europe, hitting a crazy 436 miles on a full charge.

Polestar’s not slowing down; it’s expanding its lineup with the new Polestar 3. Every version packs a huge 111kWh battery, but power and range vary. The entry-level single motor pushes 295bhp with an impressive 438 miles of range. Step up to the mid-range dual motor and you get 483bhp and 392 miles. Want the sporty edge? The Performance Pack cranks it to 510bhp but drops range to 347 miles. Prices start at £69,900 for the single motor, £75,900 for the dual motor, and the Performance Pack adds £5,600 on top.

In Sportback form with optional camera wing mirrors, the Audi A6 e-tron nails an insanely low drag coefficient of just 0.21Cd. Pair that with the Performance setup, a 94.9kWh battery and a single motor powering the rear wheels, and you get a claimed 463 miles of range. The bigger-booted Avant isn’t quite as slick aerodynamically, but even it can still hit 437 miles on a single charge. Pretty impressive.

Mercedes is hyping its new CLA saloon as the “most efficient, intuitive, and intelligent” ride it’s ever made. The rear-wheel-drive 250+ version squeezes an impressive 484 miles out of a pretty compact 85kWh battery. That’s thanks to a slick 0.21Cd drag coefficient, a smart air-to-air heat pump for better efficiency, and clever energy recovery. It also runs on 800V tech, so just 10 minutes plugged into a 350kW charger adds around 200 miles of range.

Sure, you could take the train from London to Edinburgh, 332 miles of sharing space with gasp strangers. Not exactly stress-free, right? Instead, chill out in Mercedes’ electric limo, the EQS. After its facelift, it can now hit up to 511 miles on a single charge in its most efficient setup, that’s 51 miles more than before, thanks to a bigger 118kWh battery (up from 108kWh). Honestly, it’s only a matter of time before this beast tops every range chart out there.

The current range king is the Lucid Air from Silicon Valley, rocking up to 516 miles in its top spec. But you’ve gotta navigate through four versions to get there: starting with the entry-level Pure (473bhp, 410 miles), then the Touring (612bhp, 425 miles), and the ultimate Sapphire, packing three motors, a crazy 1,184bhp, 0-60mph in under two seconds, and a top speed over 200mph. Seriously, next level.
