Now however, a new generation of electric cars are offering ranges from a single charge that not so long ago would have been unthinkable. Our article outlines the 5 of them that deliver the longest distances!

Imagine a car which has zero emissions, government subsidies of 3,500 off the purchase price, and is tax-free. Oh, and it requires less maintenance, has lower running costs, AND creates nearly no noise.

This car is not a mere fantasy, it exists today in the form of an electric vehicle (EV). But despite all these benefits, electric cars only comprise 1-2% of UK annual car sales – so why aren’t more UK drivers buying EVs?

In a survey by YouGov, the most common concern for 81% of respondents was their range. But the ranges of EVs are improving all the time, meaning many options are available if you require a car which provides significant mileage.

Here, Yellow Car Shop have assessed the longest-range EVs, comparing their top speed, 0-60 mph acceleration time, range, and budget bracket.

1. ‘The Splash Out’ – The 2021 Tesla Roadster

Top Speed: 250 mph

Range: 620 Miles

0-60 mph in: 1.9 Seconds

Price: 38,000 (Base Series) – 250,000 (Founders Series)

Pros:

• A supercar for the real world: The Tesla Roadster has ‘Supercar’ status, but offers spacious, practical design
• A luxury vehicle: The Roadster boasts a lightweight, removable glass roof, and showcases a sleek, modern, and minimalist ‘spaceship’ style design. The look is complemented by futuristic features such as fingerprint warlocks and DriverAssist
• All-Wheel Drive
• Seats 4

Cons:

• Not released yet: The Roadster has been in development since 2017 and was due to come out in 2020, but this was delayed by COVID-19. Tesla may have to delay the release further to update the vehicle’s design, so it’s now speculated to be coming out in 2022. You can reserve your Roadster for a deposit of 29,000
• The price tag: The Founders Series costs a staggering 250,000!
• Design flaws: Some reviewers have expressed doubts about certain design components, including the ‘butterfly wheel’ which is not road legal in some areas

1. ‘The Investment’ – The Tesla Model S Long Range

Top Speed: 162 mph

Range: 405 Miles

0-60 mph in: 2.3 Seconds

Price: From 73,990

Pros:

• Cheaper than the Roadster: At 73,990 The Model S Long-Range is more affordable than its 250,000 counterpart
• Similar features to the Roadster, but more practical: The Model S has more space than the Roadster; it can be transformed into a seven-seater AND includes extra storage space
• Offers Semi-Autonomous Driving Assistance
• Can seat 7

Cons:

• BIG!The Model S is pretty chunky. Get used to inching around country lanes and squeezing into parking spaces!
• Price: While it’s cheaper than the Roadster, buying a Model S is still not a decision to take lightly seeing as it costs 73,990

1. ‘The Compromise’ – Volkswagen ID.3

Top Speed: 99 mph

Range: 340 Miles

0-60 mph in: 7.1 Seconds

Price: From 32,000

Pros:

• Seats 5
• Offers a quiet, smooth, and responsive drive
• A practical vehicle which provides a decent amount of space and a reasonably large boot
• At 340 Miles range, it offers a lot of distance for its price

Cons:

• Too familiar perhaps? Little difference between the appearance of this vehicle and the Volkswagen Golf
• Not flashy: Some reviewers have found the ID.3 ‘unmemorable’ on account of its practical design. But for a daily-use car, it’s a great compromise.

1. ‘The Best Of Both Worlds’ – The Polestar 2

Top Speed: 127 mph

Range: 292 Miles

0-60 mph in: 4.1 Seconds

Price: From 49,900

• Seats 5
• Includes a front boot for extra storage

Range: 256 Miles

0-60 mph in: 6.4 Seconds

• Handles well: Offers a responsive drive and does 0-60 in under 7 seconds

Cons:
