Every electric car with a 300-mile range

Want an electric car that will cover your morning commute, school run and much more besides? 

Thankfully there are a plethora of electric cars now available with an official WLTP range of 300 miles, helping drivers make the switch to emission-free motoring. In fact, some EVs even do more than 400 miles on a single charge. 

With this in mind, we’ve put together a list of every electric car on sale today offering a range of up to 300 miles or more. We’re including the claimed range of the car from the manufacturer and how long it takes to charge at its maximum rate. The price of the car will also be included.

Audi e-tron GT | 305 miles | £85,900

Sleek, refined and fast, the Audi e-tron GT is a brilliant electric car that has the range for longer journeys, with the saloon capable of 305 miles on a charge. As standard the e-tron Gt can be charged from 10-80% in 20 minutes using a 270kW charger; that’s if you can find a charge with such an output. 

It might share its electric architecture with the Porsche Taycan, but the e-tron saloon is tailored to long-distance cruising, despite its whooping 350kW power output and 4.1sec 0-62mph time. 

Hyundai Ioniq 5 | 315 miles | £46,945

The brilliant Ioniq 5 might look like an everyday hatchback, but is in fact a big family crossover that can swallow five people and their luggage with ease. Powered by a 77kW battery, the Ioniq 5 is good enough for a claimed range of 315 miles. Its 238kW maximum charging rate is also impressive, allowing for a 10-80% charge in just 17 minutes. 

You also get loads of standard technology and a super spacious interior that can accommodate 5 adults with a good level of comfort. 

Toyota bZ4X | 318 miles | £46,110

We had to wait until last year for Toyota’s first bespoke electric car, the bZ4X. But as a first attempt at an EV, the Japanese brand delivered, with the bZ4X being both good to drive and live with. While it can’t match the range of its rivals, 318 miles on a single charge is more than enough for family duty; and longer commutes on motorways, too. 

Charging can be done at a maximum rate of 150kW, which allows for a 10-80% charge of around 32 minutes. 

Hyundai Kona Electric | 319 miles | £38,595

The second-generation Kona Electric certainly looks the part – and its bigger proportions means there is more room inside and a bigger boot. Long Range models get a 65.4kWh battery and 160kW electric motor, helping the Kona on to a range of 319 miles. 

With a maximum charging speed of 102kW, you can recharge the Kona Electric from 10-80% in around 40 minutes. It’s got plenty of kit as standard – such as a heat pump – and plenty of physical buttons which makes it easier to operate various functions. If you’re after more refinement and a better ride however, the Kia Niro EV is the car for you. 

Audi Q4 e-tron | 321 miles | £49,930

The Q4 e-tron isn’t the German brand’s best-selling electric car; it is its best-selling car overall. And there’s good reason for such strong sales figures, as the Q4 is well-priced, has a refined upmarket interior, and with 321 miles on tap its range is enough for all manner of driving scenarios. 

You can expect a 10-80% charge to take around 33 minutes, as the Q4 e-tron can only charge at a slower rate of up to 135kW. 

Genesis GV60 | 321 miles | £53,905

Stylish both inside and out, the GV60 is a brilliant all-round electric car that has the performance and range that makes it a compelling option for buyers. Official range is up to 321 miles and thanks to 239kW charging capabilities, a 10-80% charge will only take 18 minutes.

Despite being less capacious inside than the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, the GV60 is quick, developing 360kW and achieving a 0-62mph time of just 4.0sec. 

Mercedes EQA | 324 miles | £52,010

It might be the smallest EV in the Mercedes line-up, but the EQA is still capable of travelling 324 miles on a charge. The small electric SUV is surprisingly spacious, particularly in the rear, and comes with a shed load of great standard equipment. Despite its pleasing interior however, the EQA isn’t as good to drive than the Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6.

The EQA can be charged at up to 100kW, with its 70.5kWh battery replenished in around 30 minutes.

Volkswagen ID 5 | 327 miles | £50,710

The ID 5 is effectively pitched as a more stylish alternative to the Volkswagen ID 4, due to its coupe-SUV looks. Both sit on Volkswagen Group’s MED platform, with the ID 5 offering up to 327 miles of range. Thankfully you don’t have to wait too long for a charge, with the ID 5 taking 33 minutes for a boost up to 80% using a 135kW device. 

But while its sportier silhouette might help it appeal to buyers, the ID 5 isn’t as practical or spacious as the ID 4, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6; and it’s more expensive, too.

Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron | 328 miles | £51,430

While the standard Q4 is a good electric SUV, the Sportback version with its coupe-style rear-end offers 328 miles of range thanks to its more streamlined shape. In simple terms, you get all the refinement and goodness of the Q4 just in a more attractive package. Peak charging rate is up to 135kW, meaning a 10-80% charge takes around 33 minutes. 

It is worth noting that while the Q4 Sportback offers more mileage on charge, it’s more expensive than its SUV sibling and rear head room isn’t tailored to taller passengers. 

Kia EV6 | 328 miles | £48,245

The EV6 sits on the same electric platform as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Genesis GV60, but it’s more fun to drive and can go further on a single charge. While the SUV is firmer than its Korean counterparts, it has a spacious interior and is crammed full of useful technology. 

And with super fast charging capabilities, you can boost the EV6’s battery from 10-80% in just 18 minutes. 

Volkswagen ID 4 | 328 miles | £46,035

Opt for the ID 4 over the ID 5 and you get more range. Ok, it is only one mile extra, but every little bit helps. In fact, of the two, the four is the more appealing option, being both larger inside thanks to more headroom in the back – and its boot can swallow more carry-on suitcases than its the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. Disappointingly, the ID 4’s interior quality isn’t up to the mark and its infotainment system is laggy and awkward to use on the move. 

The ID 4 has a peak charging rate of 125kW, and can be recharged in around 35 minutes. 

Nissan Ariya | 329 miles | £51,895

The Japanese brand’s second bespoke electric car certainly turned heads when it arrived last year. It’s good looking both inside and out, with the Ariya’s 87kWh model offering a competitive range of up to 329 miles. Standard models are well-equipped and there is plenty of room inside for adults and luggage. The Ariya doesn't deliver much by way of performance or ride comfort, though. 

Charging speeds aren’t as good as rivals either, with a peak charging rate of up to 130kW, resulting in a 35 minute 10-80% charging time. 

Audi Q8 e-tron | 330 miles | £82,050

Offering a comfortable ride and brilliant, premium interior, the Q8 e-tron is a solid choice for any prospective electric SUV buyer. Inside you get all the tech you need and heaps of Audi refinement in the form of good quality materials and digital screens. There’s plenty of room inside, too. Covering 330 miles on a single charge, the Q8 has more than enough range for daily duties. 

Charging speeds are up to 170kW, and you can be back on the road in 30 minutes after a 10-80% boost.  

Tesla Model Y | 331 miles | £52,990

Want a Tesla Model 3 but with a bit more room for your luggage? Thankfully Tesla has got you covered with the super efficiency Model Y, which offers a range of up to 331 miles on a single charge. Like its Model 3 sibling, the Y gets access to the American brand’s formidable Supercharger network, meaning you can top up to 80% in just 27 minutes. 

It might not be as dynamic or as comfortable as the Model 3, but as an electric family car it's one of the best options available today. 

Volvo XC40 Recharge | 334 miles | £57,805

While it might look like a stylish SUV, the XC40 Recharge is a seriously quick electric car that could easily put more athletic machines to shame. The Twin Motor model develops 304kW which helps it sprint from 0-62mph in just 4.8sec. Despite its appealing 334-mile range, the XC40 is quite pricey compared to its rivals. 

It does have a good peak charging rate of 205kW, which means you only have to wait 28 minutes for a 10-80% charge. 

Kia EV9 | 336 miles | £64,995

Big, versatile and full of technology, the EV9 is the newest member to Kia’s all-electric line-up and is its most expensive model yet, costing from £64,995 in the UK. Ride-comfort is good, with the EV9 being smooth and power delivery being more progressive. Inside, the seats can be reconfigured for a more family-orientated feel, too. 

Kia is yet to confirm its charging speed, but says you can add 148 miles of range in just 15 minutes. 

Hyundai Ioniq 6 | 338 miles | £47,040

Dubbed a ‘streamliner’ by its makers, the super-sleek Ioniq 6 is another electric saloon with its sights firmly set on defeating the Tesla Model 3. That slippery exterior helps the Ioniq 6 along to 338 miles of range, and with fast 220kW charging speeds you can replenish the battery in an impressive 20 minutes. 

The ride comfort is a little firmer than you would expect, and despite its solid range it still can’t go as far as a Tesla Model 3 or BMW i4. 

Skoda Enyaq | 339 miles | £42,945

The 77kWh 80 version of the enyaq  is the pick of the line-up thanks to its 339-mile range. And it’s not just the Enyaq’s range that makes it a desirable EV. Room inside is excellent, and its boot is better than that of the Volkswagen ID 4. It's smooth and relaxing to drive, with only harsher lumps and bumps unsettling the ride.

The Enayq can be charged at up to 135kW which means you can expect a 10-80% boost to warrant a 30 minute charging time. 

Volkswagen ID 3 | 339 miles | £47,470

Despite its frustrating infotainment system and lower-quality interior, the ID 3 is still a great family electric hatchback. It’s great to drive being both smooth and comfortable, and its accurate handling helps you feed it seamlessly through bends. 

There is plenty of choice in terms of trims, but the one to go for is the 77kWh machine, which offers 339 miles of range. Plug the ID 3 into 125kW charger and you will be back on the road in 30 minutes. 

Cupra Born | 341 miles | £41,975

Even though it’s pitched as a sportier alternative to the Volkswagen ID 3, the Cupra Born offers more range, covering 341 miles on a single charge. It’s also very good to drive: the handling is accurate and the firmer suspension doesn’t impact ride comfort. Inside, the infotainment system is also easier to live with than the ID 3. 

The maximum charging rate for the Born is 125kW, which means you can plug in and charge to 80% in around 30 minutes. 

Volvo C40 Recharge | 342 miles | £59,155

Again a more curvaceous alternative to the standard model, the C40 Recharge is a great EV that offers rapid performance that is wrapped up in a refined and high-quality package. And by rapid we really mean it, because the Twin Motor variant comes with a punchy 304kW. Range is up to 343 miles, with charging at up to 205kW. This means you can plug in and get back on the road in 28 minutes. 

Audi Q8 Sportback e-tron | 343 miles | £80,300

Smooth and quiet, the Q8 Sportback e-tron is a very refined electric car. You might think its sportier looks might convey are energetic drive, and yet the Sportback rides well thanks to its standard air suspension, while the handling is accurate and communicative. And in keeping with tradition, the interior is a seriously nice place to be, with top-notch materials used throughout. 

On a single charge the Sportback can travel up to 343 miles, and can be charged at up to 170kW. This allows for a charging time of 35 minutes. 

Skoda Enyaq Coupe IV | 345 miles | £44,825

Rocking a coupe-style exterior silhouette, the Enyaq Coupe is identical to its boxier sibling, but offers an improved range, albeit only six miles. It carries over all the goodness of the standard Enyaq, with a refined and easy-to-use touchscreen and high quality interior. It’s more expensive than the standard car, however, and that coupe roofline does encroach on rear headroom. 

The Enyaq Coupe can be charged at up to 135kW, with its 77kWh battery taking 33 minutes to charge from 10-80%. 

BYD Seal | 354 miles| £44,990

Aiming to steal a slice of the European market is the BYD Seal, a sleek and comfortable electric saloon that faces stiff competition from BMW and Tesla. If range is anything to go by, it's already off to a positive start. Fitted with an 82.5kWh battery and 230kW electric motor, the rear-wheel-drive Seal can travel up to 354 miles on a single charge.

The Seal can be charged at up to 150kW, so if you can plug in to a speedy charger you should be able boost the battery from 30-80% in around 26 minutes. 

BMW i4 | 365 miles | £57,890

Fast, comfortable and refined, the BMW i4 is one of the best electric cars you can buy. Better still, it can cover serious mileage on a single charge, with a range of up to 365 miles. It is quite expensive, and unlike the Model 3 - which trumps it for range - you don’t get access to the Supercharger network.

Find a device with a power output of 205kW and you can charge the i4 in just over 30 minutes.

Ford Mustang Mach E | 372 miles | £59,380

The Mustang Mach-E was met with mixed reactions after the brand elected to use the Mustang nameplate on its first battery electric vehicle. However, the brand’s RWD Extended Range Premium model helped regain some praise thanks to its commendable 372-mile range. 

Its charging time is a fair bit slower than other electric cars, with its 91kWh battery taking 45 minutes to charge from 10-90%, with a peak charging rate of 150kW. 

Polestar 3 | 379 miles | £79,900

With first deliveries expected towards the end of 2023, the new Polestar 3 is set to rival the BMW iX and Mercedes EQS SUV. Packed full of technology, including a radical Lidar function, the launch edition Polestar 3 will offer up to 379 miles on a single charge.

Its huge 111kWh battery can be charged at up to 250kW, allowing for a 10-80% charge in just 30min. 

BMW iX | 382 miles | £102,755

While its kidney grilles might divide opinion, the BMW iX is one of the best large electric SUVS on sale. Opt for the xDrive50 model and the claimed range for the iX is up to 382 miles – that’s better than the inbound Kia EV9 and Mercedes EQS SUV. The maximum charging rate for the iX is 195kW; plug in to a device offering such speeds and a 10-80% charge takes 35 minutes. 

BMW i7 | 387 miles | £113,970

The German brand’s luxury electric saloon arrived earlier this year with a suite of technological features not seen before on an EV. In the back you get a stunning 31.3in Theatre Screen, Amazon Fire TV and 5G connectivity. There's also a curved digital dash and infotainment screen. Better still, the i7 rides like no other EV in this list, soaking up lumps and bumps with ease.

Range is up to 387 miles and recharging the i7’s 101.7kWh battery from 10-80% takes around 34 minutes when using a 195kW charger. 

Mercedes EQE | 388 miles | £74,345

While it might be pricier than the BMW i4 and Tesla Model 3, the EQE can travel a good distance farther than its rivals, with an impressive WLPT range figure of 388 miles. Despite its marmite exterior look, the EQE is a good electric car that offers a comfortable ride and refined interior. 

It's not all plain sailing however as that sloping roof doesn’t help rear passenger space and the seats could be more comfortable. Charging is up to 170kW which means you can replenish the battery in around 31 minutes. 36

Renault Scenic E-Tech | 388 miles | £40,995

The Scenic nameplate returned in late 2023, with the new midsize crossover ditching the MPV styling of its forbears in favour of an SUV aesthetic. And while its new look might draw the most attention, the Scenic E-Tech certainly makes a case for itself when it comes to range and price. 

Fitted with a large 87kWh (usable) battery, the new Scenic offers an impressive range of up to 388 miles, which is far more than the Tesla Model Y (331 miles) and Skoda Enyaq (349 miles). Couple the admirable range with the Scenic's comfortable ride and handling and its a solid all-rounder in the electric crossover class. 

Mercedes EQS SUV | 404 miles | £129, 470

The German brand’s huge electric SUV is a strong proposition for those looking for a striking, luxurious and tech-heavy EV. Much of the EQS SUV’s design and drivetrain technology is taken from the EQS saloon, but it uses a larger 118kWh battery that offers an impressive 404 miles of range.

Want to top up on the move? Thankfully Mercedes has given its electric behemoth a solid peak charging rate of 200kW, which means it can be boosted from 10-80% in just over 31 minutes. 

Prices for the firm’s flagship electric SUV start from £129,470. 
 

Polestar 2 | 405 miles | £48,950

The recently overhauled machine now boasts a Tesla Model 3-beating range of 405 miles, a slightly revised exterior look and updated interior software. While it might travel further than the Model 3, the 2 isn’t as good in terms of driving dynamics, with a firmer ride being and less communicative steering. 

Still, you get plenty of technology and boat-loads of Scandinavian style. Charging for the Long Range model is up to 205kW allowing for a 28 minutes 10-80% charge.

Tesla Model S | 405 miles | £113,480

You can finally get your hands on Tesla’s most powerful model; the only downside is that you can only get it with left-hand-drive. While this might deter some, the 760kW dual-motor machine can travel a whopping 405 miles between charges; and thanks to Tesla’s unrivalled Supercharger network, you can be back on the road in as little as 29 minutes.

Tesla Model 3 | 421 miles | £49,990

We’re a big fan of the Model 3: it’s great to drive, has all the tech you would need and a good level of practicality that makes it suitable as a family car. And the new facelifted version is slightly better on the eye, too. 

Combine this with the fact that the new version can do a mightily impressive 421 miles on a charge, the Model 3 offers excellent value for money, with the Dual Motor All Wheel Drive model starting from £49,990. 

And being a Tesla, you get access to the trusty Supercharger network, meaning you can get back on the road in as little as 27 minutes. 

Porsche Taycan | 422 miles | £86,500

When the Porsche Taycan arrived in 2020, it emerged as one of the best electric performance cars of its era. Fast forward to 2024, and Porsche has given the car a revamp to keep pace with rivals from Europe. 

Porsche focused on improving range and efficiency, while also upping the power compared to the previous model. The Battery Performance Plus gets a larger 105kWh battery which yields a range of up to 422 miles. 

As mentioned earlier, the Taycan can now charge at up to 320kW for a 10-80% boost in 18 minutes. Prices for the Taycan start at £86,500. 
 

Volkswagen ID 7 | 435 miles | £51,550

Built to rival the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2, the Volkswagen ID 7 arrived late last year as an electric alternative to the Passat – and if its range is anything to go by, it’s already off to a strong start.

While the Pro model gets a 77kWh battery offering 386 miles of range, the Pro S variant is even more impressive, boasting a range of up to 435 miles thanks to a larger 86kWh battery pack. 

The ID 7 also uses Volkswagen’s latest AP550 electric motor, which the Wolfsburg-based brand claims offers greater efficiency. Charging speed peaks at 200kW, resulting in a 30 minute charge when boosting up to 80%. Prices start at £51,550. 
 

Mercedes EQS | 453 miles | £105,610

Rocking a super-slippery exterior design for optimum aerodynamic efficiency and a mammoth 107.8kWh battery pack, the premium EQS saloon is the king of EVs for range, offering up to 453 miles on a single charge. Inside the car is laden with modern technology, with the most notable feature being the 17in Hyperscreen which spans across the engine dashboard. 

Plug the EQS into a 200kW charger and you should expect it to take around 31 minutes for a 10-80% charge.
