These are the top 10 available electric cars with the longest range for 2019

The days of "range anxiety" are behind us... every vehicle in this list has the capability to go over 200 miles on a single charge and some much further than that. Eventually, there will be a time when we aren't talking about range for electric vehicles; the charging infrastructure will be as available as fueling stations for gas and diesel cars and the electric vehicle options will all be able to go many hundreds of miles between "fill ups". However, we're not quite there yet and picking an EV with the range you need is important. Here we list the top ten electric vehicles with the longest range in 2019:

If you're looking for an all-electric luxury SUV for a reasonable price from a legacy automaker, then look no further. Jaguar says, "The I‑PACE is a Jaguar vehicle above all else – a true driver’s car. Its electric motors and near perfect weight distribution deliver 512 Lb-Ft of instant torque and sports car agility."

From personal experience we can tell you... you know the power is there.

7. Chevy Bolt EV - 238 miles

The Chevy Bolt EV is one of our favorite vehicles. Packed with loads of technology, bold styling, and plenty of space for passengers and cargo. The 238mi range is enough for around town or the occasional road trip and the 2020 model is boosting that to 259mi of range.
