Electric range figures have climbed far enough that several 2026 models now clear four hundred miles on a single charge, though the source behind each number differs. Some ratings come from the EPA, some from manufacturers and one from independent testing. Here are twelve electric vehicles that sit at or near the top for range.

1. Lucid Air: Wheel Size Sets the Record
Lucid lists the Air Grand Touring with 19-inch wheels at up to 512 miles on its own Lucid’s Air page, the longest range on this list. The wheel qualifier is part of the claim, since the figure applies to that specific configuration.
Buyers comparing sedans should read the footnote on wheel size before treating 512 miles as the number for every Air. Other trims and wheel choices carry their own ratings, and the manufacturer’s page is the place to confirm which one applies to a given car.
2. Chevrolet Silverado EV: The Long-Range Truck
The Max Range Trail Boss version of the Chevrolet Silverado EV is rated at 493 EPA miles, the longest of any electric truck, according to Cars.com’s Silverado research page. The label belongs to one battery and trim combination, not the whole lineup.
Truck shoppers should expect lower numbers from other configurations. Towing and hauling heavy loads would also cut into range in daily use, so the rating works best as a ceiling for comparison between models, not a promise for every trip.
3. GMC Sierra EV: Denali Goes the Distance
The GMC Sierra EV in Denali Edition 1 form is rated at 478 miles for 2026, according to an InsideEVs range list. That puts the full-size electric pickup just behind its Chevrolet cousin among trucks on this ranking.
A second truck near the top of the range table shows how much battery capacity the large pickups carry. Prospective owners will want to compare the Denali’s rating with its price and trim content, since the figure belongs to one particular edition.
4. Cadillac Escalade IQ: Luxury SUV, Long Legs
Jalopnik rates the Cadillac Escalade IQ at 460 miles, placing it third on its 2026 list, in its Jalopnik’s range ranking. The range is described there as exceptional for a vehicle of this size.
Large electric SUVs have to carry heavy batteries to reach numbers like that, which is part of what makes the figure notable. Families considering the Escalade IQ can treat the third-place finish as a sign that size no longer rules out long range.
5. Lucid Gravity: Three Rows, 450 Miles
The three-row Lucid Gravity is listed at 450 miles for 2026 in the InsideEVs ranking, a strong number for a family-sized SUV. The listing does not state a specific trim for that figure.
Because the trim is not named, buyers should check which configuration delivers the listed range before relying on it. Seating for more passengers normally costs efficiency, so a rating at this level stands out among its three-row peers.
6. Rivian R1T: Adventure Pickup at 420
The 2026 Rivian R1T has a range of 420 miles, according to the Jalopnik list entry. That makes it one of the longer-legged electric pickups among the entries here.
The number matters for owners who plan trips beyond city limits, where charger spacing can be thin. Anyone comparing it with the larger trucks higher on this list should note that range is only one of several measures of a pickup’s usefulness.
7. Tesla Model S: Base Model, Big Number
A base dual-motor Tesla Model S is rated at 410 EPA miles, as shown on Cars.com’s Model S page. The figure applies to the entry-level configuration, not a pricier performance variant.
That an entry-level version posts a figure this high shows that long range does not require paying for a top trim. Shoppers can use the rating as a baseline when weighing the Model S against newer rivals that have joined the segment.
8. Rivian R1S: Matching the Model S
The Rivian R1S with the Dual Motor Max battery is rated at 410 EPA miles, according to Cars.com’s R1S page. That figure ties the electric SUV with the Tesla Model S on this list.
The tie shows how closely matched an SUV and a sedan can be on range when the battery is large. Buyers should check that the Max battery is included in the configuration they price, because smaller packs carry lower ratings.
9. Mercedes-Benz EQS: Flagship Sedan, 390 Miles
The Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan lasts 390 miles on one charge, per Jalopnik’s EQS ranking. The ranking places it ahead of the other Mercedes-Benz model on this list, which is the smaller CLA.
A figure near four hundred miles suggests the EQS can cover many long drives with a single stop, depending on speed and conditions. Buyers cross-shopping flagship sedans can weigh that range against interior space, features and the price of the model they actually plan to order.
10. Mercedes-Benz CLA: Compact with Reach
The electric Mercedes-Benz CLA with EQ Technology is listed at 374 miles in an InsideEVs entry for the CLA. It is the smaller of the two Mercedes-Benz models appearing here.
That rating shows long range is no longer limited to large and expensive vehicles. A compact sedan with this much reach may suit commuters who want fewer charging stops without moving up to a bigger body and a higher price tier.
11. BMW iX: The xDrive60 Number
The BMW iX xDrive60 is listed at 364 miles for 2026 in the InsideEVs list. The listing identifies the xDrive60 as the version that earns the figure.
Naming the trim is helpful, because other iX versions can differ in range. A buyer drawn to the iX should confirm the xDrive60 specifically, then compare that 364-mile rating with the Mercedes and Tesla models close to it on the list. Charging speed and price, which the listing does not address here, deserve equal attention.
12. Tesla Model 3: EPA Versus Real Roads
The Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD carries an EPA rating of 363 miles, and an Edmunds test car went 393, according to a Drive Tesla Canada report. That is a gap of 30 miles, or 8.3 percent.
The result is a reminder that official ratings and real-world results can diverge, in this case in the driver’s favor. Anyone using the list to compare cars should keep in mind that test conditions, speed and temperature all influence what a car actually delivers.
