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 China.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 440 g/kWh (China, Ember Climate, Monthly average, May 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

The 719-kilometer route from Qingdao to Zhengzhou requires approximately 487 minutes of driving time, presenting a substantial single-day journey for an electric vehicle. The normal climate conditions on this route do not impose the range reduction associated with cold weather, allowing drivers to rely on standard efficiency estimates. For a typical EV with a real-world range of around 350 kilometers, at least one mid-route charging stop would be necessary, likely around the halfway point. The availability of numerous stations reduces the risk of being stranded, but drivers should still verify station compatibility and operational status, as the distribution may not be perfectly uniform. This is a domestic route within China, so no cross-border charging considerations apply.
