Key Takeaways

  • EV advances mean longer ranges for new models
  • Impressive range numbers don’t necessarily translate to shareholder value
  • Automakers are navigating challenges with demand, scalability, and affordability

As the electric vehicle market continues to heat up, one of the main differentiating factors consumers are looking for is longer range. We’re still a long way off from seamless charging and robust EV infrastructure, so the longer you can go without the inconvenience of charging, the better. So which EVs have the best range, and are investors taking notice? We’ll get into it below.

Which EVs can go the distance?

First, a few technical caveats: accounting for all the variables in a range test is tricky. EPA range figures — which is what goes on the window sticker — is the combined highway and city range, and it’s not really the full story. Plenty of real-world factors on any given day can lower that distance.

Without getting too into the nitty gritty of the specific numbers and testing methodologies (there’s Car and Driver for that) we can call out a few standout EV ranges that have all the car blogs abuzz. Of note: We’re not bringing Tesla into this list because of recent news that Tesla might be fibbing when it comes to range calculations.

First: The Lucid Grand Air Touring is the long-range top performer from Silicon Valley-based Lucid. The Air’s EPA range is a whopping 516 miles.

Next up: The Mercedes EQS 450+ AMG Lin at 453 miles. That’s a long, luxury ride.

And rounding out our top three: The Fisker Ocean ‘Extreme.’ We wrote about the Fisker Alaska recently, and the Ocean is another much-hyped model. The Fisker Ocean Extreme and the Fisker Ocean One can both get 360 miles on a single charge.

Does range translate to earnings?

So far, not really.

Fisker’s stock isn’t blowing us away right now, but it does have new models coming out soon that might turn things around. Mercedes just reported a strong quarter thanks to high demand for its high-end vehicles and new electric cars. But will the good times last?

Finally, while Lucid has garnered positive reviews, the company continues has struggled against demand issues and recently lowered car prices to incentivize sales.

The bottom line

These EV companies are posting impressive ranges but less surefire impressive earnings. While we’re overall expecting growth in the EV space, we’re not going all-in on any one of these companies just because they have strong range metrics.
