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 India.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 568 g/kWh (India, Ember Climate, Monthly average, May 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

The 326-kilometre drive from Bangalore to Chennai takes approximately 248 minutes and crosses a hot-climate region in southern India. The hot climate, consistent between both cities, generally supports battery efficiency and reduces the need for range-compensating measures, unlike cold climates which can degrade performance. This route is not cross-border, simplifying travel logistics. For a typical EV, a single mid-journey charging stop may be optional rather than mandatory, given the distance is manageable for many modern electric cars, but drivers should plan for potential congestion around Chennai’s limited charging infrastructure. The terrain is largely flat, further aiding range predictability.
