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: not shown, because no electricity market price is available for Canada.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 113 g/kWh (Canada, Ember Climate, Monthly average, April 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

The 515-kilometer drive from Ottawa to Hamilton in Canada’s cold climate requires careful EV planning, as low temperatures can reduce battery range by up to 30 percent. The route is not cross-border, simplifying logistics. Range anxiety is a practical concern here; a vehicle with an official range of 400 kilometers in mild conditions may only achieve roughly 280 kilometers in this cold climate, making a charging stop essential. Drivers should precondition their batteries before departure and plan for longer charging sessions due to cold-weather battery inefficiency.
