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 Brazil.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 63 g/kWh (Brazil, Ember Climate, Monthly average, April 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

Both cities are in a hot climate, which typically benefits battery performance and range compared to cold conditions, though high ambient heat can still affect charging speeds if battery thermal management is not robust. Drivers can expect a charging stop roughly every 36 kilometres on average, which provides ample opportunity to top up without range anxiety. Since this is not a cross-border route, no international charging standards or payment systems complicate the journey. The terrain between these two major Brazilian cities is largely mountainous, particularly through the Serra do Mar, which may increase energy consumption on uphill sections but also offer regenerative braking gains on descents.
