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 18 Oct 2026 (0.090 EUR/kWh); public charging tariffs are usually higher.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 75 g/kWh (Spain, energy-charts, as of 18 Oct 2026).

The 605-kilometer route from Barcelona to Bilbao presents a straightforward but demanding single-day drive for an electric vehicle, with a drive duration of 394 minutes. Despite both cities having a normal climate, which avoids significant cold-weather range reduction, the distance is substantial enough that drivers should plan for at least one, and likely two, charging stops. Since the route is not cross-border, no additional considerations for different charging standards or payment systems apply. Drivers should factor in the 394-minute drive time plus charging stops, which could add 30 to 60 minutes depending on vehicle battery capacity and charger speeds.
