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 United Kingdom.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 78 g/kWh (United Kingdom, uk-ngeso, as of 18 Oct 2026).

Driving an electric vehicle from London to Glasgow covers a distance of 647 kilometers, with a drive time of 454 minutes. Both cities are in a cold climate, which can reduce battery range by up to 30 percent compared to mild conditions, making careful energy management essential. The route is not cross-border, remaining entirely within the United Kingdom. Given the cold weather and distance, at least one or two charging stops are typically required, especially if the vehicle’s real-world range is significantly lower than its official rating. The terrain includes stretches of hilly and motorway driving, further increasing energy consumption in cold conditions.
