For electric vehicles, battery life is an important reference value. Many consumers are anxious about the mileage of the car when choosing an electric car, fearing that the battery life will not last to the destination or the charging station. So, which electric car has the longest range? In this regard, many media have tested the battery life of the car. The foreign media “Autoexpress” aimed at the electric vehicles on the market, and counted the endurance performance under the WLTP test standard. The following is the top 10 models of electric vehicle cruising range.
10. Polestar 2, cruising range: 539.1Km
Polestar 2 is an electric vehicle positioned as a cross-border SUV, offering single-motor and dual-motor versions. The battery is also divided into 64kWh and 78kWh. The one with the best endurance is a single motor plus a 78kWh battery pack, using a fast charging system with a power output of 150kW. The battery can be replenished from 10% to 80% within 30 minutes.

9. Volkswagen ID.3, cruising range: 540.7Km
Volkswagen ID.3 is divided into various models and provides two battery packs of 58kWh and 77kWh, and the 77kWh battery can show the best cruising range. It has 100kW fast charging technology and is the most affordable car on this list, which is quite attractive for budget buyers with long-distance driving needs.

8. Tesla Model X, cruising range: 579.3Km
As the current overlord of electric vehicles in the world, Tesla continues to improve its own battery technology. Among them, the Model X SUV, the largest model of the brand, has launched an extended-range version, which can create excellent endurance performance, is equipped with full-time four-wheel drive and has a spacious seating space.

7. Tesla Model 3, cruising range: 579.3Km
Although Tesla Model 3 is the most petite model of the brand, due to its entry-level positioning, the battery module is not as large as Model X. Due to the trade-offs, the maximum cruising range of the two cars is the same, but the Model 3 itself has a lower price, and it is also the best-selling model of the brand.

6. BMW i4, cruising range: 590.6Km
The BMW i4 is currently on pre-sale in markets in many countries. With the new fifth-generation eDrive electric energy technology, the electric motor, power control module and transmission system are integrated into a compact single structure. With the 83.9kWh lithium battery module, it can have a long battery life of 590 kilometers.

4. BMW iX, cruising range: 611.5Km
BMW iX offers two battery packs of 76.6kWh and 111.5kWh respectively. It also uses the fifth-generation eDrive technology, so the battery life is quite amazing. With the CCS1 specification, the BMW i high-speed charging station with a power of up to 350kW can replenish 150 kilometers of mileage in as little as 10 minutes.

3. Tesla Model S, cruising range: 651.7Km
As Tesla’s flagship model, Model S has the same battery module as Model X, but is lighter in weight and has better aerodynamics, so it has better cruising range. Tesla Model S also has a Plaid high-performance version, which can achieve supercar-level acceleration, and it only takes 2.1 seconds to accelerate from rest to 100km/h.

2. Mercedes EQE, cruising range: 659.8Km
The Mercedes EQE pure electric car, which officially debuted last year, has two power configurations. Among them, the 90.6 kWh lithium battery pack is equipped with a single motor model, and the maximum cruising range exceeds Tesla. The battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in 31 minutes using a fast DC charger.

1. AION LX (thousand-mile version), cruising range: 1008Km
At present, the car with the longest battery life is the “AION LX (thousand-mile version)” of GAC Aion. This model is equipped with a 144.4KWh large-capacity magazine battery with an energy density of 205Wh/kg. The vehicle has a pure electric cruising range of 1008 kilometers under NEDC comprehensive working conditions.

The above are the recommended electric vehicles with the longest battery life. It should be noted that since the above-mentioned mileage is obtained by the official test under ideal conditions, the actual mileage of the vehicle will be “shrunk” to a certain extent. It will lead to deviations in the battery life performance of the vehicle, so the above list is for reference only, and the specific battery life performance should be based on the actual situation.
