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: estimated energy cost at the average electricity market price for Italy, day-ahead market, as of 18 Oct 2026 (0.229 EUR/kWh); public charging tariffs are usually higher.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 327 g/kWh (Italy, energy-charts, as of 18 Oct 2026).

The 791-kilometer drive from Rome to Catania requires approximately 565 minutes behind the wheel, a journey that crosses the Italian peninsula and includes a ferry crossing to Sicily. Both cities enjoy a normal climate, so EV range is not significantly impacted by temperature extremes. Since this is not a cross-border route, drivers avoid complications with different payment systems or plug types. Practical planning should account for the ferry crossing, where charging may not be available, so topping up before boarding in mainland Italy is advisable. Terrain includes coastal plains and mountain passes, which may increase energy consumption on uphill sections, but the dense charging infrastructure makes this a manageable long-distance EV trip.
