Electric cars have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their eco-friendly nature and cost-saving benefits. However, not all electric cars are created equal when it comes to range. Some models have significantly lower ranges than others, making them less practical for long-distance trips.
The lowest-range Electric vehicles we’ve tested include the Smart EQ Fortwo, which has a range of only 58 miles, and the Mitsubishi i-MiEV, with a range of 62 miles. These cars are ideal for short, daily commutes but may not be suitable for those who frequently travel long distances.
Other low-range electric cars include the Kia Soul EV (111 miles) and the Fiat 500e (84 miles). While these vehicles may not be ideal for long journeys, they are still a viable option for city driving and short trips.
It’s important for consumers to consider their driving habits and needs when choosing an electric car to ensure they select a model with a range that meets their requirements.

Here at Edmunds, we’re constantly testing new cars, and we’ve got a special process for electric ones. Every electric car we test is taken on the Edmunds EV Range Test, a real-world driving route, and driven until the battery is just about empty. Based on that test, the electric vehicles in this video are the ones we’ve found to have the lowest ranges. Edmunds’ Lauren McCay will tell you more about which EVs have the worst range in the video above!
