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 488-kilometer drive from Rome to Padua, with an estimated driving time of 308 minutes, presents a straightforward Italian highway journey for EV drivers. The route is domestic, not cross-border, and both cities operate under a normal climate, meaning no significant cold-weather range reduction is expected. Given the distance, which exceeds the typical real-world range of many current EVs, at least one charging stop will almost certainly be required. The high density of stations in both Rome (281) and Padua (173) ensures convenient destination charging at either end of the trip. Drivers can plan a single, comfortable stop around the halfway point, likely near Florence or Bologna, where fast-charging infrastructure is well-established along the A1 and A13 motorways. The terrain is predominantly flat to rolling, with no mountainous passes that would heavily tax battery consumption, making energy consumption predictable.
