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: estimated energy cost at the average electricity market price for Spain, day-ahead market, as of 18 Oct 2026 (0.090 EUR/kWh); public charging tariffs are usually higher.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 75 g/kWh (Spain, energy-charts, as of 18 Oct 2026).

The 450-kilometer drive from Madrid to San Sebastian requires approximately 307 minutes of driving time, placing it within the range of most modern electric vehicles on a single charge under normal climate conditions. Both cities are located in Spain, so this is not a cross-border trip, which simplifies planning by avoiding international charging network or payment system differences. The normal climate for both cities means drivers should not expect significant range reduction due to cold weather, making this a straightforward route for EV travel. Practical planning should account for the 307-minute drive time, suggesting a charging stop roughly halfway, such as near Burgos, to ensure ample reserve for the final leg into the coastal city.
