In our tests, the Model 3 Performance achieved 239 miles of real-world driving. That puts it beyond the longest range Model X, which costs significantly more, and comfortably ahead of the Audi E-tron electric SUV.

5. Tesla Model X, 233 miles
The second Tesla car to make it to the UK in volume numbers, the Model X combines seven seat practicality with attention-stealing gullwing doors and near-supercar levels of acceleration once the optional Ludicrous Performance mode has been added. It also demands a near £100,000 asking price, making it one of the most expensive EVs on Britain's roads.
When we tested the X in P100D guise, before the company shook up its model naming conventions, it managed a competitive 233 miles of range. While this puts it below the very best, Tesla's supercharger network promises some of the fastest destination charging times currently available in the UK.

6. Mercedes-Benz EQC, 208 miles
Experiments with electric Smart cars and a battery powered AMG SLS sports car aside, the EQC is Mercedes' first production EV. It's a premium SUV with familiar yet different styling, so it doesn't stand out too dramatically from the rest of the Mercedes line-up, and delivers the kind of interior we've come to expect from the marque.
An 80kWh battery pack has to power two motors, one for each axle and producing a combined 402bhp and 561lb ft of torque, giving it more accelerative thrust than either of its two mainstream rivals, the Jaguar I-Pace and Audi E-tron. It may have more power than the Jaguar, but it depletes it battery faster too: used for everyday driving, you can expect to see a typical real world range of more than 200 miles, narrowly besting the similarly-priced Audi.
