Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ionic 5 are the safe answers. Pay close attention to what trim and what engine options and battery size. There are some that are inadequate. Pre-2024 VW ID.4 is not recommended. The Subaru Solterra is actually not that bad for what they are selling for. The battery is slightly bigger than the Toyota's, so it gets at least almost reasonable range, but still not great. Underpowered and boring, but probably a solid build.
I would suggest looking at the range on Car and Driver for their real world 75mph test. There's not as much difference between cars as you would think based on EPA ratings.
An overlooked option is the Honda Prologue. Yes, it shares the platform etc. with Chevy, but it actually shares fewer parts than I would have thought, and has surprisingly good range. I like the looks better than the Chevy.

It has good range (240 at 75mph, which is competitive with Tesla):
