The landscape of electric vehicle (EV) range has significantly advanced, with dozens of models for 2025 now exceeding 300 miles on a single charge. This impressive milestone, once considered the ‘holy grail’ for EV driving range, is now met by a diverse array of vehicles, including pickups, SUVs, crossovers, sedans, and even a hatchback. Some standout models, like the Lucid Air and Hyundai Ioniq 6, achieve market-leading range without necessitating exceptionally large battery packs.
EV Range Continues to Expand Beyond 300 Miles
Less than a decade ago, a 300-mile range was a benchmark few EVs could reach. Today, as the crucial charging infrastructure continues to develop, several new EVs promise up to 500 miles of range. The Tesla Model S first achieved the 300-mile mark in 2016, and since then, progress has been relentless. This expansion is particularly significant given the ongoing challenges with fast-charging infrastructure lagging behind adoption and concerns about cold-weather range performance in regions outside of early EV markets.
Currently, a substantial number of EVs boast U.S. EPA ratings exceeding 350 miles, with several surpassing the 400-mile threshold. For context, the median EV range in 2023 was 270 miles, a figure that is rapidly approaching 300 miles as a new standard.
Electric Trucks and SUVs Join the Long-Range Ranks
The list of high-range EVs now prominently features trucks and large SUVs. The Cadillac Escalade IQ has entered the market, and Rivian’s R1S and R1T electric trucks, equipped with their Max Pack batteries, both exceed 400 miles of range. More such vehicles are expected to follow.
Achieving these extended ranges often comes with a significant cost. For instance, GMC offers a larger 205-kWh battery pack as a $9,995 option on the Hummer EV 3X Pickup. With this upgrade, the Hummer EV Pickup 3X achieves an estimated 381 miles of range, or 359 miles with the optional Extreme Off-Road Package. These figures are unofficial, as the substantial battery pack places the Hummer in the medium-duty truck weight category.
However, not all EVs offering exceptional range are prohibitively expensive. The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV is rated at 319 miles of range and is available with a starting price of $34,995, representing a more accessible option for consumers.
Methodology and Key Considerations for EV Range
This analysis is based on official EPA range and efficiency ratings available on the EPA’s FuelEconomy.gov site as of March 27, 2025. Exceptions were made for vehicles currently being delivered, such as the Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD. To avoid repetition, only the top-range model for each nameplate is listed. It’s important to note that the entire Lucid Air lineup offers more than 350 miles of range.
EV Range: Weight and Cost Factors
Many of the vehicles achieving high range are equipped with large battery packs. These packs can store a significant amount of energy, but they also contribute substantially to the vehicle’s cost and weight. In practical terms, the battery packs in these EVs can cost as much as, or more than, a compact gasoline-powered car and add considerable weight.
For consumers prioritizing efficiency, this raises questions about the necessity of such large battery capacities and extensive range for vehicles often used as daily commuters. The data presented includes the minimum price, curb weight, and battery pack size for context, generally indicating that heavier vehicles consume more energy.
