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).

Driving an electric vehicle from Istanbul to Mersin involves a 932-kilometer journey with a drive time of 553 minutes, a route that remains entirely within Turkey. Both cities share a normal climate, so no significant range reduction from temperature extremes is anticipated, allowing drivers to rely on standard efficiency estimates. The terrain between these two Turkish cities is not specified, but the long, single-country drive underscores the importance of monitoring battery levels and station availability, particularly in the latter half of the journey where charging infrastructure thins out.
