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 South Africa.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 632 g/kWh (South Africa, Ember Climate, Monthly average, March 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

Driving from Port Elizabeth to Bloemfontein in South Africa covers 668 kilometres with an estimated drive time of 467 minutes. The route is entirely domestic and passes through a hot climate, which can moderately reduce battery efficiency due to air conditioning demand, though not as severely as cold weather would. This creates a significant dependency on that charger being operational and available, as missing it could leave the driver stranded without a backup. The long distance and sparse charging network mean that a vehicle with a real-world range of at least 350 kilometres is advisable to comfortably reach the charging stop and then continue to Bloemfontein without excessive range anxiety.
