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 728-kilometer route from Lucknow to Chandigarh presents a significant single-day drive for an EV, with a drive duration of 527 minutes. The terrain between these two northern Indian cities is largely flat, which aids efficiency, but the sheer distance means that at least one or two charging stops are necessary for most EVs. As this is not a cross-border trip, drivers only need to consider national charging networks. The hot climate may slightly reduce battery efficiency due to air conditioning use, but it is far less detrimental than cold conditions.
