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 China.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 440 g/kWh (China, Ember Climate, Monthly average, May 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

The drive is not cross-border, so no customs or charging standard changes apply. The terrain between the two cities is generally flat to rolling, minimizing energy consumption from elevation changes. Drivers should plan for at least two charging stops given the distance, but the station density supports flexible scheduling. The hot climate in Changsha may slightly increase cabin cooling load, but modern thermal management systems typically mitigate significant range loss in such conditions.
