10 electric cars 2021-2022 that offer the most autonomy
03 November 2021
Not so long ago, it was said that to attract customers to electric vehicles, everything was a question of autonomy. Well, it’s starting to get really interesting because when we look at the industry, we realize that several vehicles offer more than what the customer demands.
And things are changing quickly. Consequently, let’s take the time to take a snapshot of what the market is offering us this fall, while being aware that it will not be the same thing in the middle of 2022. Here are the top 10 electric car models for 2021-2022 in terms of autonomy.
10 electric cars 2021-2022 offering the most autonomy
1. Lucid Air
A few years ago, the Lucid Air was still on the drawing board. Now, the first production models have hit the road, redefining autonomy standards.
There are several versions, but at the top of the hierarchy is the Dream Edition, which has a range of 520 miles (837 km).
2. Tesla Model S
On the Tesla side, the Model S Long Range offers 405 miles of autonomy, which translates to 652 km. Tesla is still dominant in the field, as you will see with the vehicles that follow on our list.
3. Tesla Model X
Next up is Tesla’s first SUV, the Model X. Once again, it is the Long Range version that offers more, unsurprisingly. It has a capacity of 360 miles, or 579 km.
4. Tesla Model 3
Moving on to another Tesla model, this time the Model 3 Long Range and its 353 miles, a total of 568 km when converted. It is by far the most popular model of the brand. Do we need to remind you that this is the best-selling electric car in history, a milestone reached in March of last year?
5. Mercedes-Benz EQS
Mercedes-Benz comes to us with its first electric proposal, and it sits at the top of its range. The EQS sedan is an engineless version of the S-Class sedan. Its autonomy? 350 miles, or 563 km.
6. Tesla Model Y
Next up is the fourth Tesla product with the brand’s second SUV, the Model Y. Still in Long Range configuration, this time we’re talking about a possibility of covering 326 miles, or a performance of 525 kilometers.
7. Rivian R1S
The Rivian R1S is an upcoming model, but it promises to be interesting, and its arrival is only a matter of time, as its cousin, the R1T truck, is already on the market. Both models benefit from the same mechanical components, so their autonomy is similar. In the case of the R1S SUV, we’re looking at 316 miles, or 509 km.
8. Rivian R1T
As for the R1T truck, units are currently coming out of the factory and offer, at most, a range of 314 miles, or 505 km if you prefer. Note that the Rivian R1T is the first electric pickup truck to be offered on the market and will soon face several competitors.
9. Ford Mustang Mach-E
There are four versions of the Ford Mustang Mach-E in terms of autonomy and drivetrain. The model that offers the most is the California Route 1 version, which boasts 305 miles of range, equivalent to 487 kilometers.
10. Polestar 2
Finally, the Polestar 2, from the Volvo group, ranks 10thth with a range of 265 miles, or 426 kilometers. This is just a bit more than many other generic models like the Bolt from Chevrolet, as well as the Hyundai Kona and Kia Niro.
Upcoming also are proposals from Hyundai and Kia, as well as those that will come from General Motors, notably.
In short, our chart will change rapidly in the coming weeks with regard to 2021-2022 electric cars and their range, and this will be to the great advantage of consumers!
