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 South Korea.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 368 g/kWh (South Korea, Ember Climate, Monthly average, April 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

Driving an electric vehicle from Gwangju to Seongnam covers 279 kilometers, a journey that typically takes 208 minutes of driving time. The route remains entirely within South Korea, so no cross-border considerations apply. Both cities report a normal climate, meaning no significant range reduction from temperature extremes is expected. Given the plentiful en-route infrastructure, a dedicated charging stop is not strictly necessary, but a brief 10-15 minute top-up at one of the many stations could provide added peace of mind, especially for drivers arriving with a lower state of charge. The terrain is not specified, but the route through central South Korea is generally moderate, with no major mountain passes that would heavily impact energy consumption.
