What to look for
Look for EPA range of 300+ miles, peak fast-charging of 200+ kW, and either native Tesla Supercharger access or full Electrify America/EVgo support. Heat pumps add real winter range — important for northern trips.
Top road-trip EVs
Tesla Model Y / Model 3 — best Supercharger access, easy planning. Hyundai Ioniq 5 / Kia EV6 — fastest 800V charging (10–80% in ~18 minutes). Lucid Air — longest highway range at 400+ miles.
Estimating EV road-trip cost
DC fast charging usually runs $0.35–$0.55/kWh. A 1,000-mile EV trip costs ~$110–$170, similar to a 32 MPG gas car but often cheaper than full-size SUVs. Use the EV Charging Cost Calculator to compare.
