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 Saudi Arabia.
- Market dataCO2: not shown, because no grid carbon intensity is available for Saudi Arabia.

The 657-kilometer route from Mecca to Khamis Mushait in Saudi Arabia requires a drive time of 467 minutes, presenting a significant challenge for electric vehicle drivers in a hot climate. The hot climate, while not causing the severe range reduction seen in cold conditions, still impacts battery efficiency and cooling system demand, potentially reducing real-world range compared to ideal ratings. Drivers should anticipate at least one charging stop, likely near the midpoint, given the distance exceeds the typical range of most EVs. Since this is not a cross-border journey, no customs or charging standard changes are involved, simplifying logistics. The terrain between these inland cities may include some elevation changes, further affecting energy consumption.
