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 Spain, day-ahead market, as of 19 Oct 2026 (0.147 EUR/kWh); public charging tariffs are usually higher.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 73 g/kWh (Spain, energy-charts, as of 19 Oct 2026).

The 616-kilometer drive from Madrid to Barcelona requires approximately 411 minutes behind the wheel, making it a straightforward journey across central and northeastern Spain without any cross-border complications. The normal climate along the route means no significant range reduction from temperature extremes, allowing drivers to rely on standard efficiency estimates. Given the distance, most EVs will need at least one charging stop, and with such dense station coverage, drivers can choose from multiple high-speed options near major highways. This route is well-suited for electric travel, as the combination of moderate distance and extensive charging network reduces anxiety about finding a working charger.
