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 423-kilometer drive from Riyadh to Khobar takes approximately 241 minutes and is not a cross-border route. The hot climate of Riyadh is a relevant factor, as sustained high temperatures can increase battery cooling demand and reduce real-world range, meaning drivers may need to plan for an additional charging stop beyond what the raw distance suggests. The flat desert terrain of this Saudi Arabian route is generally efficient for EVs, but the combination of heat and highway speeds around 105 km/h average could still lower range compared to mixed driving. Practical planning should account for at least one mid-route charging stop, ideally at a station with shade or cooling infrastructure, to mitigate the climate impact on battery performance and ensure a comfortable journey.
