• Audi A6 e-tron
• DS N°8
• Polestar 3
• Peugeot E-3008

Mercedes-Benz CLA

Range: Up to 484 miles

Easily taking the number one spot on our list for the EV with the longest range, the Mercedes-Benz CLA offers a whopping 484 miles of electric range, and there's much more to like about it.

With access to the latest charging infrastructure, the CLA can recover as much as 200 miles of range in as little as 10 minutes, while a public rapid charge allows the battery to get from 10 to 80 percent in just 22 minutes. So, if you regularly cover long distances, the CLA offers more than enough convenience to eliminate range anxiety completely.

If performance is high up on your list of requirements, the CLA does well in that department, too. It’s capable of reaching 62mph in just 6.7 seconds, delivering the instant and smooth acceleration that comes naturally with electric power.

It's easy on the eye too, balancing the sporty and executive aesthetics together perfectly, from its elongated coupé bodystyle to Mercedes-Benz' signature bold grille.

As to be expected from a Mercedes-Benz, technology is nothing short of superb, with the MBUX infotainment system taking centre stage. A 10-inch digital driver display sits alongside a 14-inch central touchscreen, creating a cabin that feels modern and hi-tech.

Tesla Model 3

Range: Up to 466 miles

It’s hard to put together a list of the best electric cars without mentioning Tesla. The Model 3 has become one of the most recognisable EVs on the road, thanks to its strong performance, clever technology and generous range.

Range anxiety isn’t something you’ll need to worry about, as the Model 3 can travel up to around 466 miles on a single charge.
