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).

The 1,163-kilometer drive from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia, Brazil, requires approximately 919 minutes of driving time. This density supports manageable charging stops, though drivers should plan for at least two intermediate charges given typical EV ranges. The route is not cross-border, eliminating customs or grid compatibility concerns. The hot climate may slightly increase energy consumption for cabin cooling, but the frequent station spacing mitigates range anxiety. Drivers should still account for potential station occupancy or downtime, especially in less urbanized stretches of the journey.
