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 Germany, day-ahead market, as of 18 Oct 2026 (0.172 EUR/kWh); public charging tariffs are usually higher.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 258 g/kWh (Germany, energy-charts, as of 18 Oct 2026).

The 367-kilometer drive from Cologne to Stuttgart takes approximately 231 minutes and remains entirely within Germany, avoiding any cross-border complications. Both cities are situated in a cold climate, which can reduce an EV’s real-world range by 15 to 30 percent, meaning drivers should account for more frequent charging stops than mild-weather estimates suggest. For a typical long-range EV, a single stop may suffice, but in winter conditions, a second brief charge could be prudent, especially given the terrain includes stretches of hilly terrain in the Swabian Jura near Stuttgart, which increases energy consumption. Drivers should plan for a 20- to 30-minute mid-route charge, ideally at a high-power station, to comfortably complete the journey without range anxiety.
