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 Brazil.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 63 g/kWh (Brazil, Ember Climate, Monthly average, April 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

The 1,078-kilometer route from Brasília to Santos, Brazil, presents a significant long-distance drive for electric vehicle owners, with a drive duration of 796 minutes, or roughly 13.3 hours. The route is not cross-border, and both cities share a hot climate, which generally reduces battery range due to air conditioning use, though not as severely as cold weather. The hot climate may also slightly accelerate battery degradation over repeated long trips, but the abundance of stations mitigates range anxiety. Drivers should account for potential terrain changes, as the route descends from the highland plateau near Brasília to the coastal city of Santos, which could improve efficiency on downhill sections but demand careful energy management on initial climbs.
