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 Turkey.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 213 g/kWh (Turkey, Ember Climate, Monthly average, May 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

The 402-kilometer drive from Ankara to Samsun, which takes 291 minutes, is a domestic route within Turkey that presents manageable logistics for EV drivers. This disparity means that while the first leg of the journey offers ample charging options, drivers should plan for a reliable charging stop before reaching Samsun to avoid arriving with a low battery. Both cities are in a normal climate, so no significant range reduction due to temperature is expected. The route’s length is well within the range of many modern EVs, but a single mid-journey charge may be prudent for vehicles with a real-world range under 400 kilometers. The absence of cross-border travel eliminates the need for payment or plug-type considerations, simplifying the trip for drivers familiar with Turkish charging infrastructure.
