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 Mexico.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 400 g/kWh (Mexico, Ember Climate, Monthly average, May 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

Driving an electric vehicle from Mexico City to Acapulco covers 377 kilometers with a drive time of approximately 290 minutes. The route is not cross-border, remaining entirely within Mexico. The hot climate in Mexico City may slightly reduce battery efficiency during the initial leg, but the lack of cold temperatures means no significant range loss from thermal effects. The terrain likely involves a descent from the high-altitude capital to the coastal city, which could improve efficiency through regenerative braking, potentially extending range beyond the rated figure.
