Tesla Bjorn has thinks the Mercedes EQS 580 is the best overall large SUV on the market today, even if it is a bit thirsty. It should be pretty good for ~$200k.
EQS 580SUV range is listed as 285 miles by Mercedes.
Write up on the methods:Tesla and Lucid run the 5 cycle EPA test and try to publish the biggest number they can.
Almost everyone else runs the much cheaper to do 2 cycle EPA test.
Most other OEMs post conservative EPA ranges and try to under promise and over deliver.
EV buyers from traditional OEMs will rate their BEVs very poorly in consumer surveys if real world range doesn't match rated range.
Tesla, Lucid and Rivian buyers seem to give their cars a pass in the same surveys regarding range.
Here's a fun midsize electric pickup. It's pre-production for now but if it comes in at a decent price I could see a lot of them being sold outside North America. Unfortunately it appears the company will have a long road ahead of them, even if they do claim to be the California EV maker of the year.

I figure the next owner of the Rivian is getting the benefit of a fantastic amount of investor cash. They'll be able to buy that out of bankruptcy for pennies on the dollar.The downside of owning an EV made by a now defunct company is probably considerably greater than with ICE. No computer in a Delorean.
I don't see how these small startups can spread their software developments costs over enough vehicles.
Even Rivian with a 12 billion IPO may not scale sufficiently to cover their overhead in their current form.
