How far can electric cars travel?

Ever since Tesla became a big name in the automotive industry, I’ve always wanted an electric car. A Tesla is in the upper range of my budget, so I’m basing my decision more on how far electric cars can go on a single charge. How far can electric cars go in general?

We’re happy to hear that you are considering purchasing an electric car!
While
Tesla
is certainly a leader in the electric car industry, several other companies are starting to catch up. In general, electric cars have a range of about 150 to 375 miles, while plug-in electric hybrid vehicles (PHEV) can go from about 30 to 125 miles.
If you’re interested in an
electric vehicle
, the Tesla lineup offers anywhere from 326 to 373 miles on a single charge, but they’re certainly more expensive.
If you want to look outside of Tesla, here are some of the electric cars with the best range:
  • Ford Mustang Mach-E - 305 miles
  • Chevy Bolt EV - 259 miles
  • Hyundai Kona Electric - 258 miles
  • Volkswagen ID.4 - 250 miles
  • Kia Niro EV - 239 miles
  • Audi E-Tron GT - 238 miles
  • Jaguar I-Pace - 234 miles
  • Porsche Taycan - 227 miles
The Ford, Chevy, Hyundai, and Kia models offer the best value, but make sure to test drive them before making your decision.
