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 France, day-ahead market, as of 18 Oct 2026 (0.156 EUR/kWh); public charging tariffs are usually higher.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 22 g/kWh (France, energy-charts, as of 18 Oct 2026).

Both cities operate in a normal climate, meaning drivers face no significant temperature-related range reduction. The route is not cross-border, so no additional charging complexities from international travel arise. For an EV driver, a single mid-route charging stop is typically sufficient for this distance, though the abundance of stations allows for flexible top-ups if needed. The terrain between the two cities is largely flat to gently rolling, which supports efficient energy consumption. This combination of moderate distance, favourable climate, and dense charging network makes the Paris-to-Lyon corridor a straightforward and reliable journey for most modern electric vehicles.
