Do any electric cars get a 500 mile range?
I’ve been looking at getting an electric car, but I’m concerned it won’t have enough range. Are there any models that get a 500 mile range or more?

Good question! The good news is there are several electric car models with a 500 mile range, and some automakers are even
pushing for over 600 miles
per charge.One of the main problems faced by automakers when creating electric cars is the range. With so much ground to cover, drivers need to know their car can go a while on an electric battery.
And there still aren’t quite enough charging stations around the US to make long-distance drives comfortable, even with some electric cars reaching the 500-mile range point.
While there are plenty of things that affect your
electric vehicle’s range
, car makers are all working to outdo one another when it comes to find the right fuel source to make electric cars go further, charge faster and hold their charge longer. As more EV models are developed, we can expect to see the range and charge power increase as innovative technology continues to be developed.
As electric cars continue to develop and expand to bigger models, like
electric trucks
and SUVs, it’ll become more important for them to have a competitive range capacity and better charging. Good gas mileage is still a desirable feature in gas-powered cars, and drivers want to see the same benefits in any electric models they consider buying, so having an EV that can handle 500 miles of range is a big plus.
Whatever electric model you decide on, finding the right insurance for you can be a challenge. Sign up for the
