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 Saudi Arabia.
- Market dataCO2: not shown, because no grid carbon intensity is available for Saudi Arabia.

The 945-kilometer route from Riyadh to Abha in Saudi Arabia presents a significant challenge for electric vehicle drivers, requiring a drive duration of 685 minutes. Drivers should plan for at least one or two charging stops to cover the distance, especially given the hot climate in both cities, which can reduce battery range due to air conditioning demands. The terrain between Riyadh and Abha includes a gradual elevation gain toward the Asir Mountains, which may further impact energy consumption. Since this is not a cross-border journey, no international charging compatibility issues arise, but the limited station count in Abha means drivers must ensure their vehicle is sufficiently charged before arrival to avoid local range anxiety.
