Ranking

Longest-range EVs: 2015 model year

Every EV in the catalog with a published EPA range, longest first. EPA range is the official combined rating from the window sticker; real-world range moves with speed, temperature and wheel size.

Published specs, not John’s test results. His score shows where he has scored a car; it never changes the order.

Data: EPA range: fueleconomy.gov (EPA) for 18. Values last checked October 24, 2026.
