TOP 9 electric cars with the largest range

Published by Oleksandra Yershova

Often, electric cars are judged not by their power but by their ability to stay off the grid for as long as possible. The world’s best brands are still fighting over this ability. What the market offers us now and which of these leaders are already in Ukraine will be discussed in this rating.

Of course, the range depends not only on the battery capacity, but also on the balance of all systems, power, and weight. Energy consumption — is part of the important abilities of an electric vehicle, and in combination with regeneration, it gives the best results. Equally important is the charging speed. It is these characteristics, balanced from different angles, that make electric cars more practical. It’s interesting to see which brands offer the greatest range today and what is available to us on the market.
