Achieving more than 300 miles between charges is now easier than ever, so let's take a look at some of the longest range electric cars that money can buy.
All of the figures are based on the current WLTP calculations.
Tesla Model S: 412 miles
In Long Range guise, the Tesla Model S boasts the longest range of any electric car available in the UK.
Its 100kWh battery delivers up to 412 miles of range, but it comes with an £84,000 price tag.
Tesla is promising 520+ miles from the forthcoming Model S Plaid.

Ford Mustang Mach-E: 379 miles
With an extended range (88kWh) battery, the Ford Mustang Mach-E could achieve up to 379 miles from a single charge.
The range drops if you opt for a standard battery or all-wheel-drive, but the Mustang Mach-E is an impressive EV debut from Ford, especially when you consider that prices start from around £40,000.

Prices stretch from £70,000 to £92,000, depending on the size of the battery.

Tesla Model 3: 360 miles
Tesla’s most affordable car is still fourth on the list of electric vehicles with the longest range.
The £50,000 Model 3 Long Range offers a claimed 360 miles of driving, but the cheaper Standard Range Plus can achieve 278 miles, shaving £6,500 off the price.

Tesla Model X: 360 miles
In Long Range guise, the Tesla Model X offers up to 360 miles of electric range from its 100kWh battery.
That might seem disappointing in the context of the Model S, but it’s worth remembering that this is a four-wheel-drive SUV with heavy gullwing doors and seating for seven. It costs a cool £90,000.

Audi E-tron GT: 298 miles
This top 10 list should have been propped up by the Jaguar I-Pace and Polestar 2.
