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).

The 262-kilometer drive from Gwangju to Suwon, taking 198 minutes, is a straightforward domestic route within South Korea. The normal climate conditions mean no significant battery range reduction from cold weather, preserving manufacturers’ rated efficiency. For a typical modern EV with around 400 kilometers of real-world range, a single full charge at the start would suffice for the entire journey without needing an en-route stop, though a brief mid-drive charge could provide extra buffer. Drivers should still plan for the 3.3-hour travel time, factoring in potential traffic near Suwon. The route is not cross-border, eliminating customs or grid compatibility concerns.
