The ranges of upcoming electric vehicles (EVs) in 2025 and 2026 are generally improving and extending beyond many current models, with some reaching exceptional distances on a single charge.
Comparison of Upcoming EVs vs Current Models
Notable Upcoming EVs and Their Ranges:
- Lucid Air Grand Touring (2025): Among the longest-range EVs available, it offers up to 512 miles of range, surpassing most current EVs significantly.
- Chevrolet Silverado EV RST Max Range (2025): Also offers a very competitive range, ranking second after the Lucid Air in 2025 models.
- Chrysler Electric Crossover (Expected 2025): Rumored to have a range around 400 miles, which is substantially higher than many outgoing mainstream electric SUVs and crossovers such as the Ford Mustang Mach-E.
- NIO ET5 Long Range (Available since late 2022, still relevant in 2025): Offers about 500 km (~310 miles) of range, competitive within its segment.
- Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD (2025 model): Has around 460 km (~286 miles) of range, which is an improvement but close to current Tesla Model Y ranges.
- Mazda 6e (Available mid-2025): Comes with about 390 km (~242 miles) of range.
Current Model References:
- The current Chevrolet Bolt EV has an EPA-estimated range of about 259 miles, but the upcoming Bolt (2025) is expected to exceed this, thanks to the new Ultium platform.
- Many current EVs such as the Tesla Model 3 Long Range offer roughly 310-350 miles, which will be matched or exceeded by several upcoming models.
Summary of Trends
- Range Improvements: Upcoming EVs are pushing ranges beyond 400 miles in some cases, with luxury and performance models like the Lucid Air Grand Touring hitting over 500 miles. Even more affordable and mainstream vehicles like the new Bolt EV and Chrysler EV crossover are targeting ranges closer to or above 300-400 miles.
- Battery Technology and Efficiency: New platforms such as GM’s Ultium and advances in battery chemistry contribute to higher energy density and longer range.
- Competitive Positioning: The upcoming EV lineup is increasingly competitive with traditional gas vehicles in terms of range, helping to reduce range anxiety and broaden EV adoption.
In conclusion, the upcoming electric vehicles set for 2025 and beyond exhibit ranges that are generally longer than most current models, signaling a significant advancement in EV battery technology and design focused on extending driving range.
