Weather: each vehicle uses its own hot, normal and cold factor from our vehicle data, so consumption = efficiency x 1.00 / factor. Hot is 25 °C and above, normal is 10-25 °C, cold is below 10 °C.

EV charging analysis

The cold climate further reduces effective battery range by an estimated 20-30% in winter, meaning drivers relying on these stations must account for shorter real-world distances between charges. Without an estimated EV count, it is difficult to gauge whether the existing infrastructure is under or overutilized, but the station density implies that Basel is reasonably prepared for local, short-range driving, while long-distance travel may require careful planning or reliance on non-route charging networks.
