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).

Both cities are in Spain, so no cross-border considerations apply, and the normal climate conditions in Madrid and Santander mean no significant range reduction from cold weather. The terrain between the Spanish capital and the northern coast includes mountain passes, which could moderately increase energy consumption, but the ample charging infrastructure mitigates any range anxiety. This route exemplifies a straightforward, well-served domestic EV journey.
