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 Turkey.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 213 g/kWh (Turkey, Ember Climate, Monthly average, May 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

The 479-kilometre drive from Istanbul to Izmir takes approximately 283 minutes and is a domestic Turkish route with no border crossings. Both cities experience a normal climate, so EV drivers will not face the range reduction associated with cold temperatures. Given the distance, most modern EVs will likely require one mid-route charging stop, and the abundance of stations ensures flexibility in choosing a stop based on battery level and driver preference. The terrain between these two major Turkish cities is generally manageable, with no extreme elevation changes that would significantly impact energy consumption. This route is practical for EV travel, with the charging network density reducing range anxiety and the normal climate preserving battery efficiency throughout the journey.
