For many, owning a car represents freedom—whether it’s a quick commute to work or a road trip across the continent.
If you’re someone who loves long drives but are considering an electric vehicle (EV), you may be familiar with range anxiety.
This refers to the concern that an EV’s battery might not last through your journey—a valid worry given the still-developing charging network in North America.
You’re not alone in this concern. A Cars.com survey revealed that 68% of EV shoppers consider range a significant factor in their choices, while 63% of EV owners cited it as a key consideration when purchasing their cars.
To address these concerns, we’ve compiled a list of EVs available for the 2024 model year, all rated by the EPA with a minimum range of 300 miles.
These vehicles span a variety of styles, from luxurious SUVs and high-performance sedans to practical crossovers and pickup trucks.
The ranges listed are based on EPA estimates, which are standardized to provide comparable data. We excluded manufacturer estimates to ensure consistency.
However, remember that your actual range can vary based on factors like weather, driving habits, occupancy, and terrain.
Prices noted here correspond to the trims offering the longest range. If multiple trims provide the same range, we’ve chosen the least expensive option.
Pricing does not include any local, state, or federal tax incentives for EVs. This information was last updated in October 2024, so availability, pricing, and range may have changed since then.
