The era of the 400-mile range EV is upon us
The next generation of EVs is rolling out.
Their biggest improvement: more range.
Sjoerd van der Wal/Getty Images There's a fresh batch of EVs heading to the US.
They're getting 400 miles of range.
That type of range in the US has been reserved for shoppers splashing out on six-figure vehicles.
The new batch still has luxury prices — but could quickly filter into mass-market vehicles.
Range anxiety? That's so 2026.
The auto industry is slowly flipping its calendars into the 2027 model year , and the transition is bringing a new crop of EVs with 400-plus miles of range.
That was once a rare bragging point reserved for ultra-luxury sedans and gargantuan electric trucks.
It's an important development, especially for the US market.
While the rest of the world has started to embrace fully electric driving amid sky-high fuel costs , American drivers have lagged China and Europe in adopting EVs , held back by range anxiety, high vehicle prices, and limited public charging access.
Automakers' response: Make EVs go farther in the US market.
European manufacturers are leading that charge.
BMW's next-generation EVs, called Neue Klasse, are the clearest example.
