Electric cars are becoming more and more common on the road. In response to the upcoming ban on internal combustion engine vehicles, manufacturers are racing to introduce new all-electric vehicles. This has led to a rapid increase in technology, producing electric cars with much longer ranges than those of just a few years ago.
Gone are the days when an electric car couldn't come close to the range that could be achieved on a tank of fuel. While mileage anxiety is still a factor in the minds of potential electric car buyers, that concern is receding.
10. Ford Electric Horse - 619 kmThe Mustang Mach-E is a completely different vehicle than its V8-powered namesake,but it sets the standard in its own way. Not only does it offer a lot of space for family use, it also offers a full range of over 492 kilometers. Up to 619 kilometers if you opt for the rimless rear-drive Luxury model.
The top-of-the-range GT inherits some of the high quality features of the traditional Mustang, with a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.7 seconds - although this is not as fast as some of its rivals. Selecting the "Wild" driving mode from the three available options also adds a V8 engine sound to the cabin - a very strong driving sensation.
Inside, the Electric Horse feels more advanced than some other Ford models. The standard package includes dual-zone climate control, a rearview camera, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a 15.5-inch touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital instrument display.
9.BMW iX -- 630 km The iX is BMW's flagship electric SUV. while the car isn't compact at all, it has a range of up to 630 km. the iX may be a 2.5-ton SUV, but it has all the performance numbers you'd expect from BMW.
Even the least powerful xDrive40 accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 6.1 seconds, while the xDrive50 will drop to 4.6 seconds this time.
Both versions have a top speed of 200 km/h. Or, you can even opt for the M60 model, which infuses the spirit of the legendary BMW M-cars into the all-electric iX, which will accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and go on to reach a top speed of 250 km/h. All iX variants have a two-motor, all-wheel-drive setup.
But this performance doesn't come at the cost of comfort. iX's cabin is all soft-touch materials, with high quality throughout. Two 14.5-inch curved screens feature BMW's latest iDrive system, one of the smoothest infotainment systems on the market today.
8. Polestar3 -- 670 km Polestar's first SUV is only its third model overall, but if the Polestar 2 is worth taking a look at, the 3 should raise eyebrows in its more mature competition.
The Polar Star 3 is aimed at the premium electric SUV market, with rivals including the Audi e-tron (check deal price | see offers | incentives) and the BMW iX. sharing a platform with the Volvo EX90, the Polar Star 3 comes with a very large 107kWh battery pack. 250kW of charging capacity means that it can be quickly recharged from 10 to 80 percent in just 30 minutes.
Inside, the Polaris 3 comes with a number of luxurious material treats. These include a panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting, a 360-degree parking camera, soft closing doors, cabin air filtration, heated rear seats and a 25-speaker stereo system.
7. Tesla Model 3 - 675km The Tesla Model 3 has been on sale in the UK since 2019. While it's finding more competitors than ever, it's easy to see why so many UK electric car advocates have bought or leased one.
The Model 3 is the cheapest model Tesla, but there's no sacrifice in terms of range, as each version offers more than 500 kilometers of range. There's a lot of this brand's signature technology on board, too. Standard equipment includes a 15-inch high-resolution infotainment system, keyless entry that recognizes your phone as a key, heated front seats with 12-way power adjustment, and four USB ports.
6.BYD Han -- 715km The 4WD variant of the 2022 Han EV is powered by two electric motors that deliver a total of 380 kW of power and 700 Nm of torque.In comparison, the older EV 4WD variant has two electric motors that deliver 363 kW of system power and 680 Nm of of system torque. The rear motor of the new Han EV is also a 200 kW/380 Nm unit; this is a new front-mounted motor (180 kW/350 Nm) that provides additional power and torque.
Despite some cosmetic changes, the Han EV still comes with an 85.44 kWh blade battery, - using LFP (Lithium Ferrous Phosphate) cells. With that in mind, the increased range of the RWD derivative could be due to BYD's improved efficiency. Another possibility is that the Chinese automaker has reduced its buffer: the current model has a usable capacity of 76.9 kWh.
It may have finally shifted to a higher voltage, as in the case of the BYD Dolphin
The BYD Han EV can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. faster than most supercars. The Han EV offers a solid chassis, better road handling and an excellent driving experience than its predecessor.
5. Extreme Krypton 001 3354 732 kmThe Extreme Krypton 001 is based on SEA's vast Smart Evolutionary Experience Architecture.
