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 346-kilometer route from Riyadh to Buraidah in Saudi Arabia is a domestic drive with an estimated travel time of 196 minutes. Both cities are situated in a hot climate, which can reduce EV battery efficiency due to the energy demands of cabin cooling. Given the distance, a single charging stop is likely necessary for most EVs, particularly those with a real-world range under 300 kilometers. The terrain is not specified, but the hot climate and substantial station count make this a manageable journey for EV drivers with proper planning.
