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 United States, residential retail average, as of 17 May 2026, older than 45 days, last available value (0.162 EUR/kWh); public charging tariffs are usually higher.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 283 g/kWh (United States, U.S. EIA Open Data, as of 17 May 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

Driving an electric vehicle from Los Angeles to San Francisco covers 614 kilometers, a journey that takes approximately 427 minutes of driving time. The route is entirely within the United States and is not cross-border, simplifying charging logistics. Both cities experience a normal climate, so no significant cold-weather range reduction is anticipated. For a typical EV with a real-world range of around 400 kilometers, a single charging stop midway through the trip would be prudent, though the dense station network allows for flexibility. The terrain between these cities includes coastal highways and some elevation changes, but the abundance of chargers means drivers can plan stops based on convenience rather than necessity.
