Crossovers are what Americans want to buy. Fourteen of the top 20 best-selling non-trucks in America last year were crossovers. That fervent interest makes building electric crossovers a no-brainer. It’s why Volkswagen led off its MEB platform effort in America with the ID.4 instead of a small hatchback. But as with combustion engines, the crossover body style requires some compromises.
Electric crossovers ride higher and create more drag than super sleek sedans. But unlike large electric trucks and SUVs, crossovers don’t have the space to counteract that with enormous battery packs. So you won’t see many crossovers rivaling the Lucid Air for overall range.
But there are still some electric crossovers out there—especially if you aren’t a stickler about having all-wheel drive—that can alleviate range anxiety by earning more than 300 miles on a single charge. Here are the electric crossovers that offer the most range.

Chevrolet Blazer EV RS RWD (324 miles)
- Price: $54,200

To get that range, you need the RS RWD trim, which is not the base model but a higher performance option than the all-wheel drive, offering 340 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque.
