Electric vehicles are growing in popularity but still make up a small percentage of total car sales. More than two decades of vehicle and infrastructure development have yielded only a 6.8% market share for EVs in the United States. Part of the problem is range anxiety — owners'' fear that they won''t be able to get where they need to go on a full charge. But as charging stations proliferate and EV range increases, that fear should fade. To help, Edmunds'' experts have compiled a list of five of the highest-range electric vehicles available for less than $50,000. The vehicles on this list are specific trims and configurations that offer the most range for the least money.
The range ratings listed below are a combination of EPA and manufacturer estimates. Edmunds does its own independent EV range testing, which can be found on its website. Prices listed here include destination charges.
With an ultra-low starting price, the Equinox EV is both affordable and practical. Chevy estimates its range at 319 miles. That, of course, is not a formal EPA estimate, but it''s identical to what the EPA estimated for the Equinox with this powertrain for 2024. The big difference for 2025 is a significantly lower starting price for a car with fewer features and slightly more power. Still, the Equinox includes several meaningful driver assist features, such as automated emergency braking and rear parking sensors, as standard.
Equinox LT FWD price: $34,995
A max 320-mile EPA range rating helps make Ford''s iconically named EV reasonably practical. The Mach-E charges slower than other EVs in this price range, but it''s more engaging to drive than many competitors. Its hatchback body and low ride height represent a practical middle ground between a sedan and an SUV. There are also multiple powertrains available, including a more powerful GT version and a shorter-range variant that costs less. Overall, the Mach-E represents an attractive, fun and utilitarian EV for the money.
Mach-E Premium Extended Range RWD price: $48,990
With up to 342 miles of EPA-estimated range and a sub-$44,000 starting price, the Ioniq 6 is a masterfully utilitarian electric sedan. Part of its appeal is compatibility with the latest quick-charging technology, which Hyundai says allows it to charge from 10% to 80% in less than 18 minutes. It can also fully replenish its battery on a home charger in less than seven hours. Edmunds verified Hyundai''s charging claims, but as always, they are condition-dependent. Though the Ioniq''s styling may not be for everyone, there''s no denying the appeal of Hyundai''s 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Ioniq 6 SE RWD price: $43,850
Tesla''s Model Y was among the first all-electric SUVs and it remains the standard bearer for small electric SUVs. It offers an EPA-estimated range of up to 320 miles. We also like the Y''s utility. There''s decent storage behind the second-row seats, a handy rear underfloor storage area and even a front trunk. You can also make the most of the Model Y''s range on road trips thanks to Tesla''s nationwide network of easy-to-use Supercharger fast charging stations.
2025 Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive price: $44,990
Tesla made big updates to its Model 3 for the 2024 model year. Tesla estimates that the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive version can go 363 miles on a full charge. That''s an ample surplus of miles for most people''s needs. And the Model 3 has shown itself to be one of the most efficient EVs available, using less electrical power per mile driven than many competitors. What''s more, range is but one of the 3''s many merits. It accelerates quickly, handles well, and brings together luxury and affordability in a thoroughly modern design.

Electric cars still don’t account for a large percentage of new-car sales. But there has been a rapid increase in the number of electric cars, trucks, and SUVs from new brands and legacy automakers over the past year. So we expect to see electric vehicles continue to increase their share in the marketplace. Affordable long-range battery packs are among the things that will help electric cars overtake conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in the long run. Such battery packs give EVs the same ability to cross the state or the country without worrying so much about the distance to the next charging station.
While most of them are not all that affordable yet, there are a number of EVs on the market today that achieve serious range. Here are the 10 longest-range electric cars of 2023. Prices do not include destination or any applicable rebates. All range figures are sourced from the EPA.
The 2023 Lucid Air has distinctive design and immense range that set it apart from the crowd. And its 1,111-horsepower maximum output and 2.5-second 0-60 mph sprint ensure there’s plenty of fun to have along the way. Luxurious, well-equipped, and spacious, the Air is far and away the longest-range EV on the market. In fact, if you included variants of the Air, it would make up eight of the 10 spots on this list. To get the maximum range in the Air, pick the all-wheel-drive Grand Touring with Lucid’s 19-inch Aero Range wheels. See 2023 Lucid Air models for sale near you
Surprising no one, the 2023 Tesla Model S secures second place on our list with 405 miles of range, excellent performance, and inimitable presence. While you’ll do without the convenience of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, Tesla’s proprietary software suite has plenty of fans, too. For 2023, the max-range Model S is simply the base model. Opt for the high-performance Plaid, and you’ll get 396 miles on a charge. See 2023 Tesla Model S models for sale near you
The 2023 Tesla Model 3 is smaller than the Air and the Model S. That serves to improve its efficiency, yielding a maximum range of 358 miles. To get that number, you’ll need to order the Model 3 with the long-range battery and all-wheel drive (AWD). Despite being on the podium for range, the Model 3 is also the most affordable vehicle on this list. Even though the Long Range AWD model has an EPA rating for 2023, it has not gone on sale yet. In the meantime, you can get into the topline Performance model, with 315 miles of range, starting at $53,990, or the base model with 272 miles of range and a price of $42,990.

The first non-American car on our list, the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan brings the best of old-world luxury to the high-tech world of futuristic electric cars. Tons of flashy tech, large screens, and genuinely opulent interior materials and design make the EQS Sedan an impressive electric vehicle on its own; add in the 350-mile maximum range (2022 rating) and you have a winning combination. To get the maximum range configuration, you’ll want to choose the rear-wheel-drive base model, the EQS 450+. For those who require AWD, the maximum range with the EQS 450 4Matic is still excellent at 340 miles. See 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS models for sale near you
Hot on the heels of the EQS Sedan and Model 3 is the 2023 Tesla Model X with 348 miles of range. Spacious, full of tech, and with the unique Falcon Wing rear doors, the Model X is unlike any other electric crossover on the market. It’s also available with seven seats, though the 6-seat configuration is standard. Whatever you choose, you’ll get the 348-mile range with the base Model X. The Plaid is rated to get 333 miles of range on 20-inch wheels or 311 miles with 22-inch rolling stock. See 2023 Tesla Model X models for sale near you
Yes, the 2023 Tesla Model Y‘s presence means every Tesla model is on this list. That shouldn’t be terribly surprising, given the brand has been making electric cars exclusively for a decade and a half at this point. As with the Model 3 that shares much of its underpinnings, you’ll want to choose the long-range battery and AWD to get the maximum 330-mile range from the Model Y.

With its unique style, excellent on- and off-road abilities, and serious range, the 2023 Rivian R1T also makes a case for being one of the most practical vehicles on this list, thanks to its pickup truck body style. If you need the go-anywhere, haul-anything traits of a pickup truck but want to keep it all-electric, the R1T and its 328 miles of range are ready to get to work — or play. See 2023 Rivian R1T models for sale near you
Funky, futuristic style, lots of high-tech equipment, and up to 324 miles of range give the 2023 BMW iX plenty to love. And that’s even before you drive one and discover its nimble handling and brisk acceleration. While the 610-horsepower iX M60 is the most fun to drive, the iX xDrive50 gets the most range — provided you select the 20-inch wheels — and still offers a massive 516 horsepower. See 2023 BMW iX models for sale near you
Nearly identical to the R1T in terms of structure and drivetrain, the 2023 Rivian R1S replaces the open pickup bed with the enclosed cargo capacity and security of an SUV. With standard AWD, seating for seven, and unique style, the R1S is a practical choice as well as a head-turner. With a motor for each wheel and 835 horsepower, the R1S’s 321-mile maximum range comes only with the 21-inch road-oriented tires. Twenty- and 22-inch wheels are offered, but both reduce the overall range. See 2023 Rivian R1S models for sale near you
Finally, we have the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning. This is Kelley Blue Book’s Electric Truck Best Buy of 2023. The base range of the F-150 Lightning, which starts at $59,974, is just 240 miles. If you opt for the $12,500 Extended Range battery, you’ll get 320 miles of range. All Lightning models come with dual-motor AWD, but upgrading the battery also upgrades the motors’ output from 452 horsepower to 580 horsepower. See 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning models for sale near you
