The 6 longest range electric cars of 2021

The longest range electric cars of 2021.

Electric car range is one of the most important factors car buyers consider when buying an EV. The ability to cover long distances with a full charge is crucial to making EVs viable. Since most drivers want the ability to travel long distances, even most of us do not always need an electric car to cover more than 500 kilometers on a full battery. The good news is, today’s EVs are able to satisfy that demand.
