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 India.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 568 g/kWh (India, Ember Climate, Monthly average, May 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

The 987-kilometre drive from Kolkata to Lucknow, with a drive duration of 719 minutes, presents a significant challenge for EV drivers. Both cities share a hot climate, which generally does not severely reduce battery range compared to cold conditions, but sustained high temperatures can still impact thermal management and charging speeds. The route is not cross-border, so no customs or charging standard issues apply. Drivers should plan for at least two or three charging stops to cover the distance comfortably, given the 987 km range requirement and the need to ensure a buffer for arrival in Lucknow.
