Assumptions behind these numbers
- Model assumptionStart charge 100%, arrive with 15% in reserve, charge up to 80% at each stop.
- Model assumptionUsable battery: 100% of each vehicle's listed capacity (the listed capacity may be gross or net; no correction is applied).
- Model assumptionSpeed: consumption starts from each vehicle's listed real-world efficiency, times a speed factor of 1.00 (1.00 = no speed adjustment).
- Vehicle dataWeather: 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.
- Model assumptionCharging speed: average power = min(vehicle peak kW, 150 kW cap) x 0.60 taper, plus 5 min per stop.
- MethodRange, energy and cost all use the same consumption figure. Energy is measured at the battery; charging losses are not included.
- MethodCharging stops are estimated from range and the charging window. They are not verified charging stations.
- Market dataCost: estimated energy cost at the average electricity market price for Germany, day-ahead market, as of 18 Oct 2026 (0.172 EUR/kWh); public charging tariffs are usually higher.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 258 g/kWh (Germany, energy-charts, as of 18 Oct 2026).

The 574-kilometer route from Cologne to Dresden, with a drive time of 356 minutes, presents a straightforward but demanding journey for an electric vehicle driver in cold conditions. Both cities share a cold climate, which can reduce battery range by 20 to 30 percent, meaning a vehicle with a nominal 400-kilometer range may only achieve roughly 280 kilometers between charges. This density suggests that a single charging stop might be sufficient for vehicles with a real-world cold-weather range of around 290 kilometers or more, but drivers in less efficient cars should plan for two stops. The journey is not cross-border, remaining entirely within Germany, which ensures consistent charging standards and payment systems. Practical planning should account for the cold climate’s impact on efficiency and the need to buffer charge time against the 356-minute drive duration.
