One of the most pressing concerns for electric vehicles is driving range. When you’re on the road, you don’t want to stress out over whether or not your car will have enough battery power to make it back home or to a charging station. Fortunately, every year, as EV technology advances, the driving range for electric vehicles increases. Here are the five best electric vehicles with the longest driving range.

The 2022 Mercedes EQS450 ($102,310 base price) slots in at number five on the list with a driving range of 350 miles. Mercedes-Benz has big plans for electric vehicles.

It probably comes as no surprise to readers that Tesla models dominate this list. The 2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD ($50,990 base price) provides a driving range of 358 miles. Every year, the driving range of the Model 3 gets better. Also, the Model 3 is attractive for its “relative” affordability. No other electric vehicle with at least 350 miles of range is available for this price.

Another Tesla vehicle makes this list. The 2022 Tesla Model S Long Range ($94,990 base price) has a driving range of 405 miles. Despite it debuting a decade ago, the Model S continues to be at the forefront of EV technology. Along with its high range, the Model S provides world-class performance, state-of-the-art autonomous driving technologies, and a wide array of luxurious amenities.

The 2022 Lucid Air Dream Edition Range ($170,500 base price) leaves all other EVs in the dust with an incredible driving range of 520 miles. Also, the performance specs of the Air Dream Edition Range are eye-opening as well, with an output of 1,111 hp and a 0-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds. The question is, though, with a very high price, who can afford the Lucid Air?

Whether it’s the Lucid Air, Tesla Model S, Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model X, or Mercedes-Benz EQS, you can find many electric vehicles to relieve your range anxiety. In all likelihood, if you check back again a year from now (or sooner), this list will significantly change as the driving range of EVs continues to get longer and longer.
