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.

Both cities experience hot climates, which can reduce battery efficiency due to the energy demands of cabin cooling, though this is less severe than cold-weather range loss. With a drive duration of 467 minutes, or nearly eight hours, the journey demands at least one, and likely two, charging stops to complete the distance, given typical EV ranges. The route is not cross-border, so no customs or grid changes are involved.
