Most bang för the buck – WLTP

Here’s a clean “top-range in Europe” list expanded to 20 models, including Lucid Air and plenty of China-brand cars. Best official WLTP figure available for a current EU-spec variant (wheel size/trim can change it).

Quick notes

  • Wheel size & trim matter: swapping to larger wheels can shave tens of km off WLTP. I’ve chosen the highest EU-quoted WLTP per model/variant where available.
  • Availability caveat: Some models/variants may be region- or trim-dependent inside the EU/EEA. Tesla Model S/X are largely unavailable new in many EU markets in 2025, so I left them out. (EV Database)
  • Lucid Air is officially sold in parts of Europe and currently sits alone at the top by WLTP. (media.lucidmotors.com)
