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 Norway.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 28 g/kWh (Norway, energy-charts, as of 18 Oct 2026).

Despite this density, the cold climate in both cities reduces EV battery range by an estimated 20-30%, meaning drivers should plan for at least one charging stop, even in vehicles with a nominal range exceeding 324 kilometers. The route is not cross-border, simplifying charging logistics with consistent Norwegian infrastructure and payment systems. Terrain is largely coastal and hilly, particularly near Kristiansand, which can increase energy consumption further. Practical implications include preconditioning the battery while plugged in before departure and targeting a charging stop around the 200-kilometer mark to maintain a comfortable buffer against range anxiety in the cold.
