Range anxiety is a common concern for those considering making the switch to an electric vehicle. With the technology and design of these cars constantly improving, so is the distance you can travel on a single charge. In this post, we’ll delve into some of the longest range electric vehicles available through iCarLease, proving that you can enjoy the benefits of electric driving without compromising on distance.
1. Volkswagen ID7
Volkswagen and their innovative ID7 electric fastback are redefining the performance of electric cars. Boasting an impressive combined range of 436 miles without having to stop for charging, it’s hard to look past the ID7 for a better all-rounder that will get you where you need to go. We recommend the Match Pro S trim to get the most out of the range potential of this powerful vehicle.
2. Polestar 2
The Polestar 2 has been renowned for having an incredible range since its UK release in 2020, making it a highly popular choice for both company cars and personal vehicles. The long range version of the Polestar 2 harbours a combined range of 406 miles, coupled with a strikingly sleek external design - making the Swedish model a respectable choice for those looking to move onto an electric car with a more premium feel.
3. Porsche Taycan
Thanks to the large battery pack on the Taycan, this electric Porsche can travel around 300 miles on a single charge. If that’s not enough? Rapid charging is available which can take the battery from 10% to 80% in as little as 20 minutes when connected up to a suitable fast charger. Selecting the more powerful 105kWh battery, however, will increase your range to between 360-421 miles - as well as giving you a nippy 0-62mph of 2.5 seconds. We know which one we’d choose.
4. Audi Q6 e-tron
The Q6 e-tron has predicted range of up to 358 to 381 miles per charge, achieved through efficient energy consumption of 3.7 to 3.9 miles per kWh. Its 100kWh battery supports rapid charging, reaching 80% capacity in just 21 minutes when using a 270kW DC charger. For home charging, a full charge from empty takes approximately 13 hours and 30 minutes on a 7.4kW AC charger. Conveniently, the Q6 e-tron offers dual charging ports for added flexibility, making it a strong contender for those searching for their next EV.
5. Tesla Model 3
One of the pioneers of the electric car market, it’s no surprise that Tesla has one of the vehicles with the longest range available through iCarLease. The popular Model 3, in its long range trim, is said to have a combined range of up to 390 miles. This extensive range, as well as futuristic onboard technology, makes the saloon car a fantastic choice from those already firmly in the electric car market, as well as those looking to make the switch.
