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 399-kilometre route from Hamburg to Dusseldorf lies entirely within Germany and is not cross-border. Both cities share a cold climate, which can reduce an EV’s real-world range by 20 to 30 percent compared to temperate conditions. Drivers should plan for at least one charging stop, as few modern EVs can cover the full distance without recharging in cold weather. The drive takes 237 minutes, or just under four hours, meaning a single charge stop is practical and can align with a rest break. However, cold temperatures may also slow charging speeds, so drivers should allow extra time at fast-chargers. The flat, inland terrain of northern Germany does not add significant elevation-related energy demand, making the primary challenge the cold climate’s impact on battery efficiency and charging performance.
