Electric Cars with the Longest Range and Lowest Price in 2025

Oh, the places EVs will go—and the distances. 

It was only a decade ago that electric cars struggled to crack the 150-mile mark on a single charge. In 2025, some models are pushing 500 miles, showing just how far EV technology has come. 

Advances in battery chemistry, energy density, and thermal management are largely what have redefined the possibilities. Beyond extending EV range, these innovations enable lighter, more compact packs, faster charging, and better efficiency overall without compromising safety and durability.

But with great range often comes a great price tag: EVs that rival gas-powered vehicles in range are still facing the challenge of matching in affordability. Take the Lucid Air Grand Touring, for example. The luxury EV tops the range charts with its impressive 512-mile rating, but it costs over $100,000.

And yet, there are models proving that impressive mileage doesn’t have to break the bank. According to the Edmunds EV Range Test, the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV (FWD) can go as far as 356 miles (the Chevrolet website promises less range, but unlike Edmunds, we have not tested it to say otherwise)—and it costs under $35,000.

What is the difference between official range vs. real-world range in EVs?
Under ideal conditions, electric cars can hit their official ranges—it’s not false advertising. But in real life, conditions are rarely ideal. Factors like temperature, driving style, speed, terrain, and payload can all have an effect on performance. Most notably, cold weather and highway driving can cut an EV's range by 10 to 30 percent.

What is EPA vs. WLTP range?
You’ll often see a discrepancy in range between European reports and U.S. reports—that’s because U.K. and European outlets report using Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), which typically can produce higher numbers than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) testing. The latter follows a lower, more real-world rating.

Which EV has the longest mileage range?
The Lucid Air Grand Touring currently holds the crown with 516 miles of EPA-estimated range, making it the ultimate long-distance EV in 2025.

What is the cheapest EV with the longest range?
The Chevrolet Equinox EV 2025  LT1 FWD model currently has the lowest price point at $33,600 and meets long-range classification with its EPA rating of 319 miles. 

Here’s a closer look at the EVs leading the charge in 2025, from mile range to price range.
