Best Long-Range EVs in Australia
For drivers who regularly travel long distances or live where public charging is sparse, range is everything. These are the EVs that go furthest on a single charge — all rated 450 km+ WLTP.
How we ranked these
Ranked almost entirely on range — the spec that defines this category. Charging speed is also factored in because a fast-charging car can cover more ground per day even with slightly less range.
How far on a full charge. WLTP figures are measured under controlled conditions — at 110 km/h on the highway, expect around 75–85% of the listed number.
A 200 kW car can add 200+ km of range in under 20 minutes at a compatible charger. Even with great range, fast charging means shorter stops on multi-day trips.
Buying guide
WLTP vs real-world range
WLTP figures are measured under ideal lab conditions. At 110 km/h on the highway with air conditioning, expect 75–85% of the WLTP number. A car rated at 600 km WLTP realistically delivers around 450–510 km on a mixed highway run. Plan your road trips using the real-world estimate.
Range and charging speed work together
A 700 km range car that charges at 75 kW DC will spend more time at chargers than a 550 km car that charges at 200 kW. For road trips, the combination of range and charging speed (10–80% time) matters more than range alone.
NMC chemistry and charging habits
Most long-range EVs use NMC batteries, which prefer to stay below 80% for daily use. Set your daily charge limit to 80% and only charge to 100% the night before a long trip.
