Longest-range electric cars in the UK

Ranked by typical real-world range, from about 445 miles (Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+) down to about 315 miles. Real-world range is lower than the official WLTP figure, and falls further in winter and at motorway speeds.

Guide prices are approximate and some may already include the Electric Car Grant. Pure EV range is a typical real-world estimate; plug-in hybrid range is the official electric-only figure. Battery chemistry is shown only where a source names it. *Warranty depends on servicing conditions. "Check" means we have not confirmed it: ask the seller. Reliability: see the Warrantywise Reliability Index (built from used-car repair data, so many new models have no score).

Frequently asked questions

Do EVs lose range in winter?

Yes. Cold weather reduces range, and the effect is generally larger with LFP batteries. Motorway speeds, heating and short trips add to it. A heat pump, preconditioning while plugged in and sensible allowances for winter range all help. Our Find my EV questions build in a winter margin.

What are the main types of EV battery?

Most new EVs use lithium-ion batteries in two main chemistries. LFP (lithium iron phosphate) is cheaper and durable but stores less energy per kilo. NMC and NCA (nickel-based) store more energy and suit long-range and premium cars. Sodium-ion and solid-state batteries are emerging but were not mainstream in new UK cars at the time of writing.
