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 United Kingdom.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 78 g/kWh (United Kingdom, uk-ngeso, as of 18 Oct 2026).

The 591-kilometre route from Edinburgh to Bristol presents a substantial single-day drive of 426 minutes, a journey that EV drivers can approach with confidence given the dense charging infrastructure. This density means drivers are never far from a top-up, whether for a rapid charge at a motorway service area or a slower overnight session at a destination charger. Practically, the route supports a strategy of one or two planned stops, allowing drivers to charge during natural breaks without deviating from the main corridor. The absence of a border crossing simplifies payment and roaming considerations, as all charging sessions occur within the United Kingdom. For a typical long-range EV, this route is comfortably manageable, with the primary planning factor being the choice of charging network and the timing of stops to align with the driver's rest needs.
