Here are the 25 best EVs to ease your range anxiety

Last Updated: May 5th 2022 at 2:15PM

Electric vehicles are becoming more popular, and new models are launching at an increasing tempo. Despite this new generation of electric cars, trucks and SUVs offering more range and faster charging than ever before, range anxiety is still alive and well, especially with charging infrastructure still lagging behind what it should be, with Tesla’s robust Supercharging network being the exception. So while you might be buying an EV to be greener, many customers still put driving range ahead of overall efficiency. If efficiency is more important to you, though, check out our lists of the most efficient vehicles and most efficient electric SUVS of 2022. You can also see our list of best electric cars and SUVs.

The EPA rates the driving range of EVs — how far it can go on a single, full battery charge — just as it does miles per gallon and its electric equivalent. However, its website doesn’t allow you to sort EVs by driving range like you can by mpg-e, annual fuel cost or greenhouse gas emissions. In some cases, certain cars the EPA has rated haven't made their way onto its site yet. With that in mind, we’ve compiled here the 25 longest-range electric vehicles of 2022.

Many of these models are offered with multiple powertrain or battery options, so we’re only listing the longest-range version of each vehicle.

Note, that these are based on EPA ratings, but we’ve noted if availability of a certain vehicle or trim is limited. Also, if the EPA hasn’t yet rated a particular model, we note that the range figure is an estimate from the automaker itself. You’ll also find links to the EPA listings for these models, as well as links to our own reviews and other shopping tools.

Without further ado, here are ...
