Jalopnik’s new list highlights how the longest-range EVs are stacking up for 2026, with Lucid still sitting at the top of the range mountain.
TL;DR
Jalopnik ranks the 2026 Lucid Air Grand Touring first with a 512-mile EPA estimate, and the list shows the 400-plus mile club is growing, mostly in big, pricey vehicles.
Key Details
- Jalopnik lists the 2026 Lucid Air Grand Touring at 512 miles of range as the top entry, using EPA estimates.
- The list includes the Chevrolet Silverado EV at 493 miles, Cadillac Escalade IQ at 460, and Lucid Gravity GT at 450, among others.
- Jalopnik notes real-world results can differ from EPA estimates and points to tests that land below headline figures.
Breakdown
This list is basically a reminder that range anxiety is becoming less about whether EVs can go far, and more about what it costs to buy the EVs that go far.
The top end is dominated by brands and models designed to maximize range, often with big batteries and big price tags. Trucks and full-size SUVs also show up because they can physically carry more battery, even if efficiency is not always the point.
The useful takeaway is that EPA estimates are the starting line, not the finish. Weather, speed, tires, and driving style still decide what you actually get.
What to Watch Next
- More independent range testing that compares real-world performance against EPA estimates.
- Price moves and incentives, because long-range trims often shift fastest.
- Charging curve details, since charging speed can matter as much as total range.
