The cheapest longest-range electric car on sale in the UK is the MG4 EV.

It probably comes as no surprise then that the distinctive-looking EV has been crowned Best Value Electric Car.
The most common reason drivers are put off buying an electric car is the fear that it will run out of charge. Known as ‘range anxiety’, the concern is that the battery won’t have enough charge in order to reach the desired destination. While it is a real worry for some, the reality is quite different.
According to the website Car Analytics, the average driver in the UK travels 20 miles a day - that’s 140 miles per week. Considering many electric cars offer a driving range of at least 200 miles when fully charged, it seems that range anxiety could in fact be a thing of the past…
What’s good to know is that it’s possible to extend the range of your electric car in order to get the most miles out of a full charge. Below we share our top 5 tips:
Electric car manufacturers are seeking ways to improve EV battery technology - largely by increasing the range per charge, as well as the length of time it takes to charge. Next-generation batteries - known as ‘superbatteries’ - are in development with the aim to address and improve the overall safety of lithium-ion batteries too.
We hope our article highlighting the longest-range electric cars in the UK has provided you with a good understanding of how many miles per charge EVs can achieve. If you have any other questions, refer to our FAQs section below:

It is expected in the next couple of years that electric cars will be capable of traveling 500 to 600 miles as standard. As for the next 5 years, we could expect EVs to achieve up to 900 miles of range on a single charge.
