For many of us, owning a car represents the freedom to travel, whether it’s a short commute to work or an extended road trip across the country.
If you’re someone who enjoys long drives but is considering an electric vehicle, you’re likely familiar with range anxiety.
This term refers to the worry that an EV’s battery may not have enough charge to complete a trip a legitimate concern given that North America’s charging infrastructure is still evolving.
You’re not alone in this concern. 68% of prospective EV buyers consider range an important factor when choosing a vehicle, while 63% of current EV owners said range played a major role in their purchasing decision.
With this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of EVs currently available for the 2025 model year that have received official EPA ratings and offer a minimum driving range of 325 miles.
Previously, our benchmark for inclusion was 300 miles, but advancements in battery technology have significantly increased range capabilities.
The selection of vehicles on this list varies in design and category, ranging from luxury SUVs and high-performance sedans to pickup trucks and versatile crossovers.
All range figures are based on EPA estimates, serving as standardized data for fair comparison. Manufacturer-reported estimates were not considered for this roundup, ensuring consistency.
Additionally, we have excluded vehicles that do not yet have an official EPA rating. Keep in mind that real-world range can fluctuate due to various factors, such as weather conditions, road types, driving habits, passenger load, and more.
The prices mentioned correspond to the specific trim level that provides the best possible driving range. If multiple trims offer the same maximum range, we have listed the most affordable option.
It’s worth noting that different trim levels can have significant variations in driving range.
1. Lucid Air
- Price: $112,400 (including $1,500 destination fee)
- Maximum electric driving range: 512 miles
Once again, Lucid takes the top spot for the longest-range EV. Fortunately, you don’t need to spend close to a quarter of a million dollars on the limited-production, 1,234-horsepower Air Sapphire to get the version with the highest range.
The Air Grand Touring, equipped with 19-inch wheels, delivers an impressive 512 miles of range, all while featuring all-wheel drive, 819 horsepower, and a blistering 0-60 mph time of just 3 seconds.
In fact, the entire Air lineup boasts exceptional range. Even the entry-level Air Pure, priced at $71,400 and fitted with 19-inch wheels and rear-wheel drive, achieves 420 miles per charge enough to secure the Air’s position at the top of this list for 2025.

4. Chevrolet Silverado EV
- Price: $75,195 (including $2,095 destination fee)
- Maximum electric driving range: 408 miles
The Chevrolet Silverado EV now offers a more affordable, non-work-truck version. While Chevrolet’s premium RST Max Range variant is touted to provide the longest range at 460 miles, the model with the most range based on official EPA data is the more budget-friendly $75,195 LT Extended Range.
This version still impresses with an estimated range of 408 miles.The Silverado EV is built on the Ultium EV architecture, which it shares with the GMC Hummer EV.
Although it lacks the rugged appearance of a Tonka truck, it brings its own set of innovative features. One standout is the unique midgate, which allows the rear wall to open into the backseat area, providing extra space for cargo when needed.
5. GMC Sierra EV
- Price: $91,995 (including $2,095 destination fee)
- Maximum electric driving range: 390 miles
For those seeking a more luxurious alternative to the Chevrolet Silverado EV, the GMC Sierra EV is an excellent option. While both trucks offer plush top trims, the Sierra EV presents a more subtle, refined design.
The powertrains for both vehicles are identical, delivering impressive performance, with the dual-motor Sierra EV Denali capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in under 4.5 seconds.
Despite its nearly 9,000-pound curb weight, which includes a large battery, the Sierra EV boasts DC fast-charging speeds of up to 350 kilowatts.
Though GMC claims a Max Range version of the Sierra EV that reaches 460 miles of range, the EPA-rated version, known as the Extended Range, is the one featured here. It offers a respectable 390 miles of driving range.
6. Mercedes-EQ EQS Sedan
- Price: $105,550 (including $1,150 destination fee)
- Maximum electric driving range: 390 miles
The Mercedes-EQ EQS Sedan, which debuted in 2022 as the first all-electric model from Mercedes’ EQ sub-brand, serves as an electric alternative to the iconic S-Class and a direct competitor to the Tesla Model S.
For the 2025 model year, Mercedes has made significant improvements to the EQS Sedan’s battery and energy recuperation systems, enabling it to achieve even greater range.
The RWD single-motor 450+ variant of the EQS Sedan offers the longest range in the lineup, reaching up to 390 miles.
Adding dual-motor AWD does not significantly reduce its range, with both the EQS 450 4Matic and the more powerful EQS 580 4Matic versions offering 367 and 371 miles of range, respectively.
Even the performance-oriented AMG EQS still manages to achieve over 300 miles of range, depending on the specific trim.
7. Tesla Model 3
- Price: $43,880 (including $1,390 destination fee)
- Maximum electric driving range: 363 miles
Although the Tesla Model 3 may be considered the smaller, more affordable sibling to the Model S, it holds its own with impressive range capabilities.
The Model 3’s Long Range RWD variant offers the highest range, providing up to 363 miles of driving distance. This version now serves as the new entry-level option after Tesla discontinued the RWD Standard Range trim.
Updates for the 2024 model year, including enhancements to the suspension and interior, make the Model 3 more comfortable and refined than ever.
However, we’re not entirely fond of Tesla’s decision to replace the traditional turn signal stalk with touch-sensitive controls on the steering wheel.

8. Polestar 3
- Price: $70,100 (including $1,400 destination fee)
- Maximum electric driving range: 350 miles
Good news for those seeking a more affordable version of the Polestar 3: the new single-motor RWD variant offers the longest range when paired with the more aerodynamic 21-inch wheels.
Despite the $1,200 wheel upgrade, this new variant, priced at $70,100, is still less expensive than the $74,800 dual-motor version.
Even with the lower starting price, the Polestar 3 remains a sleek, futuristic SUV with a distinctly Scandinavian design.
However, if you’re hoping for a variety of vibrant exterior colors, you’ll be disappointed, as Polestar offers only one non-gray option a dark blue shade.
9. Tesla Model S
- Price: $96,380 (including $1,390 destination fee)
- Maximum electric driving range: 348 miles
The Tesla Model S is a fast, luxurious, and spacious electric sedan that has redefined how people view electric vehicles since its debut in 2012.
With sharp handling and acceleration that competes with some of the world’s fastest sports cars, the Model S is far from a mere commuter car.
While Tesla claims that the base Model S offers an EPA-estimated range of 402 miles with dual-motor AWD and 19-inch wheels, the only variant currently available with official 2025 EPA figures is the top-tier Plaid.
Even with 19-inch wheels, the Plaid variant still provides a solid range of up to 348 miles. As with most electric vehicles, choosing larger wheels for any variant will reduce the maximum range.
10. Hyundai Ioniq 6
- Price: $43,895 (including $1,195 destination fee)
- Maximum electric driving range: 342 miles
The Hyundai Ioniq 6, which joined the brand’s all-electric Ioniq sub-series alongside the Ioniq 5 in 2023, is a standout in terms of both range and value.
The sedan’s non-Standard Range SE RWD variant with 18-inch wheels offers its longest range, with an EPA-estimated maximum of 342 miles.
Even the Ioniq 6’s base trim delivers impressive features for the price, which contributed to it being named our Best Value EV in the 2024 Cars.com Affordability Report.
If you opt for the AWD version of the SE trim, the maximum range decreases to 316 miles, which, while just missing out on this list, is still highly impressive for a reasonably priced all-wheel-drive sedan.
11. Tesla Model Y
- Price: $46,380 (including $1,390 destination fee)
- Maximum electric driving range: 337 miles
Introduced in the 2020 model year, the Tesla Model Y SUV shares the same platform and powertrain as the Model 3 sedan. Much like the Model 3, the Model Y boasts responsive steering and ample power that pushes you back into your seat during hard acceleration.
Recently, the SUV underwent its first major refresh, which included more aerodynamic styling, updated wheels, and a revised suspension.
Tesla claims that the Long Range All-Wheel Drive Launch Series version of the Model Y can achieve 327 miles of range. However, Tesla doesn’t follow traditional model years for new releases and still offers early 2025 production of the pre-refresh model.
To get the longest-range version of the 2025 Model Y, you’ll need to seek out the early-2025 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive trim, which offers 337 miles of range.
If you’re curious about what it’s like to own one, Cars.com purchased a 2021 Model Y as a long-term test vehicle; you can read about our experience with it here.
12. Chevrolet Blazer EV
- Price: $55,595 (including $1,395 destination fee)
- Maximum electric driving range: 334 miles
The rear-wheel-drive (RWD) Blazer EV is the longest-range SUV available on GM’s modular Ultium EV architecture, even surpassing the much more expensive GMC Hummer EV.
For 2025, the Blazer EV received several updates that increased its range, added more power, and provided additional options, including a front-wheel-drive (FWD) version, new equipment packages, and an upcoming sportier SS trim.
The RS trim with RWD offers a maximum range of 334 miles, placing the Chevrolet Blazer EV comfortably on this list. Our editors found the Blazer EV to be well-equipped and enjoyable to drive.
However, despite last year’s price cuts, it’s hard not to recommend spending just a little more for the Cadillac Lyriq, which offers only 8 fewer miles of range but comes with more power and a more refined experience.
