Petrols tend to be nippier but can be weak on mpg. Electric vehicles (EVs) manage to combine amazing running costs and an insanely eco-friendly drive but compared to their internal combustion cousins, mile range is limited.But they\u2019re getting better. How far an EV can go on a single charge before it needs plugging in is growing all the time.We\u2019ve looked at the best electric cars in the past, but which will go the furthest?Slight disclaimer: an EV\u2019s real-world range can vary depending on road and weather conditions, as well as traffic levels and driving style, so to keep things fair, we\u2019re going off range figures from New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) tests. The shortestRenault Twizy (62 miles)It\u2019s kind of unfair to call the Twizy \u2018a car\u2019, because it isn\u2019t. Technically, it\u2019s a quadricycle and to be honest, it\u2019s an absolute hoot, even with its limited 50mph top speed. It might not get you very far but the Twizy will make you smile.Citroen C-Zero \/ Peugeot iOn (93 miles)Both these cars are technically a Mitsubishi i-MiEV and they\u2019re pretty awful.We shouldn\u2019t be cruel though because they were some of the earliest EVs on sale and paved the way for more capable battery-powered models like the Nissan Leaf (235 miles).Volkswagen e-Up (99 miles) The electric Up is what the C-Zero and iOn wish they were. This zippy model manages to blend zero-emission motoring with style and refinement, all in a tiny package. Installing an electric powertrain into such a nimble and compact car arguably makes this the perfect city runaround. Sadly, its \u00a321,140 price tag means it is a tough purchase to justify.The longestJaguar I-Pace (336 miles)Jaguar aced it with their first ever SUV – the F-Pace – and they\u2019ve reprised that hole-in-one with their debut electric SUV: the I-Pace.Even before direct rivals from Audi and Mercedes come to market (the E-Tron and EQC respectively), the I-Pace has them beat with its 336-mile range. Chuck in a 394bhp power output and the kind of luxury you\u2019d expect from any other Jaguar and you have one of the finest EVs around.Hyundai Kona Electric 64kWh \/ Kia e-Niro 64kWh (339 miles)We\u2019re letting the Kona and e-Niro share the same spot because, well look at them, they\u2019re essentially the same car. Both offer more range than the I-Pace for roughly half the price. Crazy.Rather than go into all the details here, head to our in-depth look of the e-Niro here.Tesla Model S 100D Dual Motor AWD \u2013 NEDC range: 393 milesYou probably expected a Tesla to come out on top and it\u2019s the original that is still the best when it comes to range. In addition to offering the longest range, the 100D variant still manages to deliver the supercar-style performance that\u2019s helped the Model S make headlines in the past.Which electric car would you like plugged in at home?
