Here are 10 of the longest-range electric cars you can buy in 2023

The Model 3 was the second best-selling electric car in the UK last year – just behind the closely related but more practical Model Y – but claims over 50 miles more range than its less aerodynamic crossover sibling. Standard Range guise gets you rear-wheel drive and a claimed 305 miles of range, one up from that gets you the Long Range, dual motor, AWD, 374-mile variant, while if it’s performance you’re after the er, Performance, offers a 0-60mph time of 3.1secs and 340-mile range.

First we got the Polestar 1. Then we got the Polestar 2. So it was inevitable the brand’s third model – its inaugural SUV offering – was going to be called the Polestar 3. Set to be offered in two states of tune, every variant gets dual motors and a whopping 111kWh battery as standard, with the entry-level model getting 482bhp and a range-topping 379 miles of range, and the schporty Performance Pack version 510bhp and 347 miles of range. Looks pretty smart too, wouldn't you agree? Prices are set to start from £79,900, with the Performance Pack an additional £5,600. Expect to see them on our roads late 2023.

BMW’s first purpose-built electric vehicle since the i3 continues to split opinion, and it’s not hard to see why. Does it get any better looking if you live with one? We tried just that to find out, which you can read all about by clicking these blue words. All models get twin motors and all-wheel drive, beginning with the xDrive40 with a 71kWh battery, good for up to 257 miles, and the xDrive50 with 105.2kWh, capable of a handy 380 miles.

The seventh generation of BMW’s range topper launches with electrons, and it’s here to bring new meaning to electric luxury limousines. We’ll leave you to decide on the looks, though the bigger talking point is arguably the huge 31.3in panoramic television (‘theatre’) screen that folds out of the roof for rear-seat passengers. Under the skin you get a 105.7kWh battery, 536bhp from two electric motors, and up to 387 miles on a single charge. More than enough to cover the average 23-mile round commute…

Meet the Mercedes EQS’s little brother. Where the EQS is the S-Class of Mercedes electric cars, the EQE is – you guessed it – the E-Class of Mercedes electric cars. While it admittedly looks very similar to the former, it’s more medium saloon in size thanks to its 90mm shorter length, and only gets an 89 or 90kWh battery (as opposed to the EQS’s 108kWh unit) dependent on spec. The entry-level model is the EQE 300, which gets a single-motor, rear-wheel drive setup for a maximum 388 miles. What range anxiety?

Volvo’s former racing offshoot has now turned its attention to EVs, and it’s starting to make a name for itself for all the right reasons too. Leading the way is the Polestar 2, which at the start of the year received a major update bringing more power, performance and range. The entry-level standard range single motor version now gets a 69kWh battery offering up to 321 miles of range (up from 275 miles), while the long range single motor also gets a bigger 82kWh unit capable of up to 394 miles (up from 336 miles). Not bad going.

For a car that was first launched back in 2012, it’s testament to Tesla that the Model S remains in the top three range toppers 10 years later. These days it’s available in just two flavours: the entry-level dual motor, AWD variant, good for up to 405 miles, or the top-spec Plaid, equipped with three motors, 1,006bhp, and slightly reduced range of up to 396 miles. Whether you can get on with the yoke is another matter entirely.

Fisker's upcoming Ocean SUV is available in a range of trims, from the base-spec 'Sport' offering a single-motor, front-wheel drive layout and up to 273 miles of range, right up to the range-topping 'Extreme'. That car, with its dual-motor, all-wheel drive setup and big battery – of unspecified kWh – is capable of a whopping 440 miles according to the company's latest WLTP tests. Offering the longest range of any electric SUV – above rivals like the BMW iX, for example – prices start from just under £61k. Fisker's aiming to get cars on UK roads later this year.

Yeah, you could travel the 332 miles from London to Edinburgh by train, but you’d also have to share that train with *gasp* the general public. And no one needs that stress in their life. Instead, why not relax in Mercedes’ electric limo, the EQS, which the German manufacturer claims will manage up to 453 miles in its most efficient configuration? OK, it might be nearer to 400 miles by road, but that should be no problem for the EQS and its hefty 108kWh battery, right? Over to you, Ollie Kew…

The current rangetastic king comes from Silicon Valley-based Lucid with its Air electric saloon, which boasts up to 516 miles in its top spec. To get there you’ll have to wade through no less than four variants, from the entry-level Air Pure (473bhp, 410 miles of range), to the Air Touring (611bhp, 425 miles), and upcoming range-topping Sapphire, featuring a three-motor powertrain, 1,184bhp, a 0-60mph time of under two seconds and a top speed of over 200mph. Wowsers.
