    Electric Vehicles That Can Go More Than 250 Miles on a Charge

    All of these EVs can be used multiple days in a row without needing to be constantly recharged

    With more electric vehicles arriving each model year—and the available cars, SUVs, and trucks becoming more mainstream—buyers who look at more affordable options aren’t necessarily saddled with a short driving range. You actually don’t have to pay a big luxury-car price for an EV that allows you to drive farther between charges. In fact, many of the EVs from luxury automakers have lower range estimates.

    And on the horizon, there are dozens of fully electric vehicles set to debut by the end of 2024, including models from Chevrolet, Honda, Kia, Lexus, and Nissan.

    Each of the models below can travel more than 250 miles on a single charge, according to their latest ratings by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). That means owners don’t need to recharge them every day, and with planning, these vehicles can even be used for longer trips. And knowing that cold weather can reduce range, these have particular appeal for shoppers in northern states.

    All of these models have CR’s Green Choice designation, which highlights the vehicles with the cleanest emissions.

    The models below are listed alphabetically by automaker and are broken into three buckets: more than 400 miles of range, 300 to 350 miles of range, and 250 to 300 miles of range. While all of them are available to purchase, we haven’t tested every one. That’s why some don’t have an Overall Score. Be aware that the Overall Scores change over time as new information, such as reliability data and the addition or removal of safety features, becomes available. The model pages always reflect our latest ratings. Models that have been announced but don’t yet have an EPA rating aren’t included, such as the Chevrolet Equinox EV and Lexus RZ.
