Early electric cars couldn't go far on a single charge, and battery recharging options were often limited to throwing a three-prong plug out the kitchen window. But after a decade and a half of battery and motor development, electric vehicles with the longest range can now match their gasoline counterparts in terms of how far they can go on a single tank. In fact, electric cars are now easily breaking the 600-km barrier.
The figures cited by experts in this study are taken from the official WLTP testing procedure. In real-world conditions, it is unlikely that any of these cars will consistently achieve the promised performance. Mercedes-Benz EQS Range: 774 km.
Rear-wheel steering provides amazing maneuverability. The EQS has a drag coefficient of 0.20, making it the slipperiest vehicle in production, and this significantly increases the range.
In the basic configuration of the EQS 450+ AMG Line Premium, it officially travels 774 km between charges. The car can also be charged with up to 200 kW, meaning that a 10-80% recharge can take just 30 km. Volkswagen ID 7 Range: 700 km.
The car has improved interior quality compared to other ID electric vehicles. The touchscreen infotainment system is now more convenient to use. The interior is simple compared to premium competitors.
Essentially the electric equivalent of the popular Passat, the ID 7 serves as a statement of intent for Volkswagen's next generation of electric vehicles. The car has a new, more efficient AP550 rear motor..
