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 175 g/kWh (United Kingdom, uk-ngeso, as of 30 Oct 2026).

The 320-kilometre route from London to Manchester in the United Kingdom is not cross-border, but it requires careful planning for EV drivers due to the cold climate at both endpoints. With a drive duration of 245 minutes, the journey is well within the range of most modern electric vehicles on a single charge, though the cold conditions can reduce battery efficiency by an estimated 10 to 30 percent, potentially lowering usable range. Drivers should anticipate that cold weather may increase energy consumption for cabin heating, making a single charge feasible but not guaranteed for all EVs, especially if travelling at higher motorway speeds.
