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 851-kilometer route from Chongqing to Kunming in China requires a drive duration of 582 minutes, presenting a significant long-distance journey for EV drivers. Chongqing’s hot climate may impact battery efficiency and charging speeds, potentially requiring more frequent stops than in temperate conditions. Since the route is not cross-border, no additional customs or regulatory considerations apply. The terrain between these two cities involves mountainous regions, which can increase energy consumption during ascents, making it prudent for drivers to account for higher-than-average battery usage and to plan charging stops accordingly, especially when departing from Chongqing’s hot climate.
