Best Electric SUVs for 2024 - Ranked
Here's a look at the all-electric SUVs with the longest range in 2024.
BMW iX
This is a midsize SUV. It starts at around $88,000. It has a little more power, but the 324 miles of range on a full charge in the xDrive50 trim is only a small increase over the previous model.
The BMW iX is a luxury SUV with the range and thrills that were a pipe dream just a few years ago.
Tesla Model Y
The 2023 Tesla Model Y is still the only SUV rated at 330 miles by the EPA. So buyers looking for a longer-range Tesla can save some money by going with the older version.
While the range may be the same, the EPA has just adjusted its testing standards. There aren’t many real changes in terms of performance. The old model has the same power and speed as the new one.
The Model Y SUV has been a solid choice for a small luxury EV SUV for years, as Tesla has been able to keep its price on par with Kia and Hyundai.
Tesla Model X
Like its little brother, the Model X also gets a bump in EPA range (335 miles for the 2024 model compared to 348 miles for the 2023 model).
The Model X is perhaps the most famous electric SUV, with its wild gull-wing doors and insane speeds achieved in the Striped Model.
It has a spacious interior, room for kids and sports equipment, and many of the vehicles mentioned above. The Model X is a popular electric option for a reason.
Despite being a large, heavy, all-wheel-drive SUV, Tesla has very few off-road applications. However, this big, green SUV is so stylish that many competitors will be wary.
Fisker Ocean
This is a small, all-electric SUV powered by batteries. The Extreme Model is a bit more rugged with a longer range.
The range is also quite impressive, with the EPA rating it at 360 miles (576 km) on a full charge in the Extreme version.
Rivian R1S
The R1S is their flagship electric SUV, and its most notable offering is its whooping 400 miles of range with the Max Pack battery, making it arguably the best electric SUV in terms of both quality and usability.
The electric R1S has a typical speed, but it can actually pull a large trailer. Rivian boasts that the four-motor models can also climb 100% of the grade (though they don’t have the 400-mile range of the dual-motor options).
All models can wade through up to 43 inches, or nearly 4 feet, of water. So if you’re looking for a rugged, powerful, long-distance SUV, give Rivian a call.
Cadillac Escalade IQ
This is a powerful, luxurious electric SUV with estimated range 450 miles (720 km) At this point, only Rivian can really compete on size and power, and they’re still 50 miles (80 km) away.
From the interior images Cadillac has shown, it looks like this is the number one choice for luxury SUVs as we enter the electric era.
Hyundai Kona Electric
The Kona EV has become the top choice for an affordable high-chassis electric vehicle, as its rival Chevrolet Bolt EV has been discontinued until 2025 in the US. Hyundai's B-segment electric vehicle has just launched an upgraded version with a new interface inside and out.
The standard SE version is equipped with an electric motor with a capacity of 133 horsepower, operating range of 321 km. The two SEL and Limited versions have a capacity of 201 horsepower and operating range of 420 km. There is no 4-wheel drive, but the front-wheel drive Kona Electric is still capable enough for winter trips.
Hyundai Ioniq 5

The Ioniq 5 offers a variety of drivetrain options, from rear-wheel drive, front-wheel drive to all-wheel drive. The Ioniq 5 supports 350W DC fast charging.

Ford Mustang Mach-E
Ford's Mustang Mach-E electric crossover has a sporty design and a driving feel inherited from the Mustang. The car has won many awards since its launch and in 2023 is in the list of 10 best-selling electric cars in the US. The Mustang Mach-E has rear-wheel or 4-wheel drive options and is equipped with driving assistance technology on the highway. Operating range of 402-502 km.

The car also has a rear-wheel drive system and a high-performance AMG version. The EQE SUV's appearance is not as sporty as the BMW iX, but it makes up for it with comfort and a lot of technology. The EQE SUV is sold in 4 versions, priced at 79,000-109,000 USD, with an operating range of 378-449 km.
